Google Classroom Support
Google Workspace for Education
Imagine a work environment free from error-prone data entry, seamless information exchange between departments, less paperwork, and more accountability. Business automation solutions can solve a whole host of problems.
Rise of Google Classroom
Google Classroom as part of Google workspace for education, is a great tool for distributing, submitting and grading tasks. From a touch of a button, the assignment can be accessed and the assignee can submit them while school teachers can give feedback immediately after receiving it. Feedback can be more valuable as it is still fresh in their minds.
During the pandemic, the number of users on Google Classroom doubled to 100 million. Google Workspace for education and its tools help young people in and out of your classroom without needing for everyone to be in the same location. Offering learning materials online as part of distance learning can be a lifeline to many including students with autoimmune diseases or with disabilities.
Google Classroom
Google Classroom offers differentiation ideal for teaching and learning, this can be used when groups are working on different components on a project, for independent learning or for classes that are at different levels of learning. This might help learners who are overwhelmed to get started by a project being broken down section by section.
Student engagement
Student engagement has been seen to increase with the adoption of technology and it’s easy for them to learn, engage, understand and get help with – as it resembles other Google products.
The other benefit of Google is that they provide a wealth of training and resources to help users get up to speed. There is an option of a level 1 or level 2 educator that staff can undertake.
Google Meet
As would be expected, Google Meet integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom – access from any device without the need for downloading anything. It can even perform with low-quality bandwidth or in a dark environment. Ideal for education as there are safety features like locking the call to ensure unwanted guests can’t join. Tutors can also end meetings and prevent anyone from re-joining without the host (ensuring supervision over video conferencing).
Greater Accessibility
Another great feature for education is the option to add live captioning in a range of languages adding accessibility to help students with additional learning, language or hearing needs. This can be invaluable for learners who struggle to concentrate in class to keep up with the subject being taught.
Google Meet can also encourage active participation through virtual hand raising and digital whiteboard tools for pupils to get to grips with each section of the curriculum.
Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms
The benefit of these tools: Docs, Sheet, Slides and Forms is the ability to collaborate, live. This could be great for multiple tutors working on a student’s report, group projects, feedback on projects etc. It offers multiple ways to communicate while using those tools through Google Meet, Google Chat and Gmail. Through using Google Chatroom, educators can help pupils and discuss work with them on a video call while viewing it. An effective method to help your class and giving them an opportunity to improve on each task as school students turn in work. This also offers opportunities for classmates to present a presentation remotely fostering collaboration though Google Classroom and help each other to help them prepare for the future of work and higher education.
Assignments
Google Assignments is an additional option within the Learning Management System (LMS) menu offered by the G Suite. As you would expect, Google Docs and Google Drive syncs seamlessly with Google Assignments. Combined with robust security tools, teachers can send personalised worksheets and tasks to students within each section of their class.
Chromebook
Many are under pressure to provide devices for their children for the classroom as BYOD is becoming increasingly popular for school. Getting pupils to study on a laptop or computer can increase their awareness of necessary systems, better preparing them for the modern world. It can help a school teacher measure how their class are adopting new tools, with a rise in the focus on subjects such as STEM.
STEM
Enter Chromebooks, a cheaper alternative for parents to purchase for their children. With a simple sign-on and only needing a connection to the internet – it’s a great hardware option especially for a school or trust who are using Google for education and learning and can benefit from their support.
