Google Classroom Feeling a Little Too Drafty for You? Try Scheduling Your Assignments Instead.

NEW FEATURE!

Up until now Google Classroom only gave users two options to sending assignments, announcements,  and questions to students those being immediately or "Save" as a draft. Thankfully Teachers now have a third option, "Schedule".  My favorite Google Classroom blogger Alice Keeler provides and excellent description on how to get it done.

For users familiar with Google Classroom, look for the option to Schedule as you are  about to finish posting your assignment.

EdPuzzle and Google Classroom

I wanted to share with you an exciting discovery of mine regarding EdPuzzle and Google Classroom.

EdPuzzle is a tool that lets you assign videos to your students. Not just any videos but videos that you can trim and add your own questions and comments to. If you are not yet using it, it's worth a look.

Google Drive is part of Google Apps for Education that allows for smooth communication between teacher and student as well as streamlining the distribution of assignments and activities.

Recently I found that EdPuzzle makes creating a classroom a snap if you already have students in Google Classroom. That magic happens with the "Import from Google Classroom" button. Select an existing class or Add class and then "Import". Sweet.
