Differentiation and Notifications in Google Classroom

Great News!  The two most frequently requested features have been added to Google Classroom!

  • 1) Individual assignments—Teachers can post work and announcements to individual students in a class. Sharing differentiated assignments will be much easier now!

  • 2) New teacher notifications—Teachers receive email and mobile notifications when a student submits late work or resubmits work. HOORAY!

These are great features to help increase organization and communication in the classroom!

Another tip I would like to share is to consider downloading the Google Classroom app to your smartphone.  You can take pictures or video with your phone and instantly share them as a post in Google Classroom.  No need for the extra step of trying to get the photos to your computer via email or the drive.  You can take pictures of notes you have on the board, anchor charts, and much more!  Posting these tools in your classroom provides a great resource location for kids to look back on, especially if they were absent in class.
