Tech Tip: Google Classroom Updates

Google Classroom
When Google Classroom was introduced a year ago, it was minimalistic.  Over the summer, Google updated Classroom with a variety of updates.  The interface is still minimalistic, which is a good thing, but the features that were added will create a much better user experience.  Check out the blog post from Google on the updates to see what is new.  If you looked at Google Classroom last year, now is a good time to jump in and try again.  If you are using Google Classroom, you may not be aware of some of the updates, so I suggest a quick glance through the post.

Tech Tip - Google Classroom

If you are looking for a free learning management system for your classroom, give Google Classroom a try.  A learning management system is a tool used to effectively conduct an online class.  Google Classroom works very well with schools that have Google Apps for their students.

If you are looking for a place to teach a class either fully online, or in a blended environment, teachers of the MRVED also have access to Moodle.  Other options include Schoology or Edmodo.
