So, my work is finally moving over to Google Classroom for the upcoming school year. I'm really enjoying it.

Seth

what's Google classroom?

user139252

It's like an online class system... Run by Google :P

Seth

19:47

that sounds scary. and cool.

and scary.

user139252

For teachers, it's super easy. It works just like Google Drive.

user139252

You press the "+" icon, add an assignment.

user139252

You can accept submissions through it, assign due dates, and even link Google Forms questionnaires.

Byte Commander

+1 from me on the "scary" list...

user139252

In the dashboard, you can see quickly see how many students have or have not finished the assignments. Once you click on an assignment, you can choose to either return it or accept it for grading.

user139252

19:50

It's free, though, unlike systems like Sakai or Blackboard.

Byte Commander

And who would attend those classes?

user139252

Only students that have been given codes to access the classes.

user139252

You have to have a "Google Apps for Education" account, and the student accounts need to be created by your administration.

Mao Zedong

Mao Zedong (/ˈmaʊ zəˈdʊŋ, dzə-/), also transliterated as Mao Tse-tung and commonly referred to as Chairman Mao (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976), was a Chinese communist revolutionary and founding father of the People's Republic of China, which he governed as Chairman of the Communist Party of China from its establishment in 1949, until his death in 1976. His Marxist–Leninist theories, military strategies, and political policies are collectively known as Maoism or Marxism–Leninism–Maoism. Born the son of a wealthy farmer in Shaoshan, Hunan, Mao adopted a Chinese nationalist and anti-imperialist...
