The course Google for Classroom deals with a set of best-in-class productivity tools built for teaching and learning, currently known as Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals (formerly known as G Suite for Education). It can help you increase opportunities for critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, all while supporting the learning objectives that you have for your students. These tools are free, ad-free, reliable, and secure. They are already used by millions of students in schools around the world. Of course, the best thing is that these tools are relevant to students, easy to use, and open doors to many new ways to learn.
Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals is suitable for and adjustable to any level of education, including kindergarten, elementary, secondary, high school, college and university.
Among the tools of Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals, the major tool built for schools is Google Classroom, and this is the core of this course.
Google Classroom is a collaboration tool for teachers and students that helps organize and streamline the classroom experience. With just a few clicks, you can create a class, add your students, and create assignments or announcements. You’ll be able to see who’s completed an assignment, who’s still working on it, and assign grades when it’s finished. You can also instantly offer feedback to students, and see their questions or comments on their assignments.
