What did you create, and why?

I created a 6^thGrade Reading Rm 19 Classroom to assign documents to students, post announcements and video links, create discussions, and manage student work online.  

.

What went well for you?

Easy to follow directions online, at the Summer Institute and at the Chromebook Workshop.

What was challenging?

Making sure to put the due dates on the assignments, and remembering how to get an Excel sheet of their results.

What did you enjoy?

I enjoyed being able to upload an article and questions for the students to work on. Creating a class slide show on the classroom. It opened up a greater possibility of integrating technology into the lessons. It also gives them practice on SBA types of questions and reading of articles.

What ideas do you have for using this tool with your students, grade level, staff or to communicate with families?

Ideas I have for using the Google Classroom are:  group presentations, individual presentations, class created Google slides for presentations, reading and answering question on both Google doc and forms, creating quizzes which are scored by Google, and having digital resources as a way of moving to a paperless format.
