Google Classroom is a fantastic tool for classroom teachers to add technology to their instruction. With so many schools closing across the country, we thought now would be a good time to explain how to get started using Google Classroom.

In this video, I explain some of the things you’ll need to know to get started using Google Classroom. For example, what is it? How can it help you? How do you create a class? How do you make a post? An assignment? How to do grade an assignment? And how do you add students to a class?

You’ll probably need the IT Administrator for your site or district to get Google Apps for Education set up for you. Beyond that, this video should cover almost everything else. Good luck out there teachers!
