For this challenge I set up a Google classroom to use with my fourth graders for the remainder of the school year. I wanted to reduce the amount of paper used, as well as build digital literacy for my class.
This challenge has gone very well, and I actually use Google classroom quite frequently now to have my students complete assignments. I love how I can quickly see the assignments as soon as they are turned in and give them a grade. It has reduced the turn around time on my grading. I like being able to see who is done and not done at a glance, rather than having to verbally check in with each student.
The task went pretty smoothly. I wish there was a little more variation on the types of assignments I can create, and I wish I knew more about how to organize the stream so it doesn't become overloaded and not useful throughout the year.
I have my students write their comparisons, their summaries, and answers to comprehension questions. I can quickly gauge their progress. I also like that it gives them familiarity with typing answers online without being a practice test.
