What's new in Google Classroom?
This fall Google added three new features, parent/guardian summaries , mobile annotations and the ability to create topics which are folders within classroom. Parent/guardian summaries notifies parents of assignments, due dates and announcements that you post on Google Classroom. The process will start soon of uploading parent emails into your classes. Mobile annotations gives teachers and students the ability to annotate on a doc, slide or spreadsheet when in the mobile app. Digital tools for writing, drawing, highlighting appear when using the mobile Classroom app. If you would like to hear more about these additions please contact your Digital Learning Specialist.
