  • What Is Google Classroom? Google Classroom Is a Class-Organization
    What is Google Classroom? Google Classroom is a class-organization platform that incorporates Google's core G Suite (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and other Google products) so students can access everything they need for a class, including assignments, projects, and files. Can my child use a mobile device or tablet to access Google classroom? Absolutely. Like all the other Google apps available, your student can access the full functionality of Google Classroom from virtually any device. How tech savvy do I need to be to help my kid with Google Classroom? If your kids are younger, it's probably a good idea to have some familiarity with Google's G Suite so you can help your kid upload documents, check the calendar, and do other tasks. It also helps to know how the programs work so you can at least describe the problem to a teacher if anything goes wrong. Older kids may not need any help. Google Classroom is designed to be easy to use, and there's lots of online help. How do we get started? The process for setting up your child's account is pretty simple. BCCS sets up the classrooms and invites all students to the right classes. All they have to do is accept the invite. Your child can get into their classroom anytime by going to classroom.google.com. Students may have multiple classrooms for different classes. ​ From their dashboard, they can choose the class they want to view. Once they enter a classroom, students find four tabs at the top of the page.

  • Google Classroom Is a Class-Organization Platform That
    What is Google Classroom? Google Classroom is a class-organization platform that incorporates Google's core G Suite (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and other Google application) so students can access everything they need for a class, assignments, group projects, files, and Google Hangouts Meet with the teacher or the entire class. Why we use Google Classroom? ● Google Classroom allows for assignments to be shared with individuals, groups of students, or whole classes to allow for personalization and differentiation within the one classroom page. ● Families will only have ONE platform to locate assignments for all their K-12 students. Families have indicated that the number of emails for their students and families have been overwhelming. In some cases, students are receiving multiple emails from multiple educators in different places. ● Students can “turn in” assignments virtually, and teachers can provide feedback to their students individually. ● Google Classroom protects student privacy because it is linked to Melrose Public Schools accounts. Platforms must be COPPA and PPRA compliant by federal law. ● Google Classroom can be easily translated for students and families. (You can either use the Google Translate extension or just alt-click on the actual page to choose the language-there are dozens!) What about students in grades K-2? ● All students including those in grades K-2 have successfully learned to navigate the use of Google Classroom this year in their Digital Literacy classrooms. Students have shown proficiency in opening the platform and navigating multiple assignments. As we progress, we will adjust and support students and families to navigate the platform.
