Google Classroom Tutorial

 How to use Google Classroom

• What is Google Classroom?
• A place for teachers, students, and families to manage classwork and find resources related to that subject.  
• For teachers they can manage classwork, grade, give feedback, and create announcements.
• How do I find Google Classroom?
1. Make sure you have googled as your home screen.  Check if you are signed in to google by looking at the upper right corner of your screen.  If it says sign in click and enter your username and password.  (If on your child's Chromebook use their log in information.)
2. If you do not have a google email you can sign up for one.
3. Go to classroom.google.com or go to the waffle and scroll down to google classroom. Pick the classroom you are going to be working in.
4. For Teachers: Create class using the + sign next to the waffle. Name your class and add subject, room number if needed.  Click on customize to change the color/design.
1. go to the People section of your Google classroom and you will see next to students a person with a plus sign. Click on that.  You are able to send invites to students directly by clicking their emails.  Or you can share your class code with students and families.
5. For parents and students: If your teacher has sent you an invite the classroom will be there with a button that says accept.  If not Click on the Plus sign + next to the waffle.  If you have the class code hit join class.  If this does not work check, you Gmail account and see if your teacher has invited you.  (Kinvo or call your teacher if this is not working)
6. Remember each class your child will have its own classroom page!
7. Click on stream to see any current announcements.  Assignments or tasks posted will also be accessible through here.  On the left there is a google meet link if needed, and a upcoming box showing anything due now.  
8. For teachers: Click share something with your class to post announcements/tasks etc. You can attach handouts or link to a website if needed.  You can also choose to allow comments or not and respond to those comments.
9. Click on the classwork page to create assignments/ quizzes, questions, resources etc. Topics can be created to show different sections. You can see what your child has submitted and is missing.  When students click on an assignment, they can complete it using what your teacher has posted (google doc, slide etc) On this page students can submit when ready for the teacher to grade.  Students can also add anything like a google doc page or an image before they submit.  
10. Teachers can click on submitted work and provide feedback.  Teachers can grade and return to student so they can see what they got.  Teachers can also unsubmit and students can see feedback and make improvements if needed.
11. Feel free to send Ms. Martin an Kinvo, email, or phone call if stuck, I am glad to help walk you through anything!
