Here’s a one minute post with a one minute tutorial. I’m busy at the moment encouraging colleagues to start using Google Classroom. The reason I’m pushing it is that for the majority of teachers and especially the less technically inclined, it removes so many of the regular problems with choosing and setting up various apps and platforms for communicating and sharing files in a BYOD school. So here’s my summary poster that explains the key elements of each of a classroom page.

Make BYOD easy with Google Classroom:

• A class is up and running in 5 minutes – no technician / admin required
• Classroom automatically organised Drive folders for you
• No more emailing required
• Students can submit any file type for an assignment
• Messaging can happen as a class or privately to one student
• Multiple teachers can run a class
• Mainly use assignments as they have the most options
• Try to get most student work created from within an assignment
