We developed skills and resources in Google Classroom to navigate the online learning environment, but Classroom was really designed to use in a face-to-face classroom. Google is not a work-around for giving tests and assignments but a suite of tools for building rich learning. It provides a variety of new ways to assess students as well as a platform for observing and assessing traditional student work. This session will provide specific examples of teaching and assessing in a variety of subjects including mathematics and social sciences. Some troubleshooting strategies will be considered.
Learning Goals:
- Learn how to use Google Classroom to develop rich learning experiences in a physical classroom.
- Learn how to create non-traditional assessment using Google tools.
