How to use Google Classroom as a teacher? In this short tutorial, I will show you how
to create a classroom, invite a user to the class, and manage assignments on Google Classroom.
For you to create a classroom tap on the plus button from the top right.
If you get this notice tap on, I've read and understand the above notice. After that, tap
Continue.
Write the name of the class.
Write the Section name.
Write the room and subject input.
After we have finished completing all of this, just hit create from The top.
You have now created a new Class. Let me explain a bit every option to know what to do as a
teacher.'
One of the important parts for a teacher is the settings button from the top. Click it.
Here we can edit the info we just added when we created the classroom. If you need to edit
this, just do it, it is easy to do. After you update this info, do not forget to tap
on the Save button from the top.
One of the essential stuff that we find on Settings is the Class Code. This code will
allow students to join the classroom. So please take this code and send it to the persons
who you wish to invite.
You can also disable this code if you would like or just reset the code if you click on
the three dots menu near Class Code.
Another important option is the stream settings. On the main page of the class, there is a
stream section where you get assignments, posts, and material. If you wish to allow
only teachers to post on this zone, you need to set up this on section Stream settings.
You can select so that students can post and comments, students can only comment, or only
teachers can post and comment. Depending on your need, you can choose what you wish.
Also, on Classwork on the stream, you can select how notifications will be displayed.
This is something that is best for you and your class. You can choose to show in-stream
attachments and details - this means all the data will display on stream.
Only condensed notifications - will show only a summary of the info, and a person will need
to enter into that post to see the details. You can also choose to hide notifications
for stream - but I mostly do not suggest this as you might get your students not to see
the assignment you give them.
After you have done all the updates, you want tap on the Save button from the top.
On The Stream section, you can do simple shares with your class. Tap on this part.
You can write a message to share with the class. You can attach files with your message.
This is very useful as this info will appear for all users in the class. To atach, a file
click on this button from the top. You can attach a file from Google Drive, a link, a
file from your device, or just take a photo or record a video.
An interesting option is the New PDF. You can create a PDF file and share it.
On the top, we have the send button. Near that button there are 3 dots. Click It. You
will have the possibility of scheduling this post or simply saving it as a draft and publishing
it at another time. This is quite useful. Let's publish this post.
Let's tap now on People zone from the bottom.
Here you can add teachers and students. Just tap on the plus sign from the teacher or students,
depending on what you wish to add. Write the email of the person and tap invite. This person
has been invited to your classroom.
You can do the same for teachers.
Now tap on Classwork. Tap on the plus sign from the bottom right. You can add assignments,
questions, materials, and make a new section with Topic.
Tap on Assignment. Write the title and the description. You can set up a number of points
that students receive for this assignment.
Also, you can set up a due date. The student will have to submit the work before this date.
You can also attach a file click on this button from the top. You can attach a file from Google
Drive, a link, a file from your device, or just take a photo or record a video. Let's
create a PDF to show you an exciting option.
You can write on the PDF or draw. Just try to use the features you have on the PDf generator
to get used to it. After you finish the PDf, just click on the three dots menu. Tap on
save. If you go on the eye button from the file we created, we have some interesting
options: Students can view, edit, and make a copy for each student. If you do a test,
you can make a student receive a copy of the test and write directly on PFd file.
On the top we have the send button. Near that button, there are three dots. Click It. You
will have the possibility to schedule this assignment or simply save it as a draft and
publish it at another time. This is quite useful. Let's publish this assignment.
Let's add a question now.
Tap on the plus button and select questions. Write the questions and instructions. Set
the points and due date if you want. So for this, every student will have to write an
answer to your question. On the bottom, you have some options for the
answer. You can set up so students can edit the answer after they submitted and also you
can set up it so students can reply to each other.
This is useful. Please note you can not put a series of questions, like a test. You have
almost the same options as assignments. After you finish all, just publish the question
or schedule it.
The last part we will talk about is material. This is something like a study material for
students. Just write the title, description, and attach the files you want. After you are
done just submit it.
You can also add multiple topics to get a better organization. You can add topics by
tapping the plus button and select topic. Write the topic name and tap Add.
