I spent yesterday training my school's 7th and 8th graders about Google Classroom and some of the Google Apps. After explaining the importance of using all internet-based products appropriately, especially Gmail, we dove into joining all of our classes with class codes. The students enjoyed seeing the different themes that their teachers had chosen and how easy it was to access each class.
In order to practice submitting work, I had them do a very simple Doc assignment that required using a "Free to use, share, or modify" picture from the "Research" tool. Students were impressed by the citation magically appearing with the selection of a photo. "Research" was definitely a big hit with them. Equally impressive, was the automatic naming of their assignment file with their own name.
The teachers and I will continue training the students about the other features in Classroom and other Apps. I am excited to assist them in collaborative projects with Classroom. The magic of Google never stops!
Here's the agenda that I used:
