Google Classroom Tips and Tricks

Another creative way to use Google Classroom:

Create, Curate, Collaborate and Connect

Create – Use the wide variety of Google apps for education tools to inspire yourself and your students to create, research, analyze, and synthesize. Check this list over here: http://nikolewman.com/2017/05/06/google-tools/

Curate – Third party apps that connect with Google Classroom allow you to easily curate learning experiences through Google Classroom. I often use Khan Academy, GoFormative, and Classcraft. These all support importing your student from Classroom and also allow you to export assignments directly into your class stream.
