Reflection

This will help improve my ability to help students with their organization both during units and for review. Having the ability to split up units into topics and then posting any material we go over under those. This will help students be able to go back and know exactly where to find any material. This is also great for the students who have to miss school or are frequently absent they can at least stay somewhat up to date on things we do in class. Putting due dates and time are especially important for those students are absent as well. 

Students need consistency and routine both in the physical classroom and the online classroom. Knowing how to organize assignments and to make it easy for the students to find what they need in Google Classroom has proven to be very important. That can even reduce time spent in class explaining upcoming assignments.

This will help me support student's learning by providing them with digital resources. I am planning to add Dreambox to this section so students can practice their math skills and technology skills with games. I will be able to see which students are struggling with a math topic and then go to them to give immediate feedback. 

The google classroom through the stream and classwork pages provide structure and organization that students need. It is an organized system that allows students to easily find and manage their notes/assignments/etc...

In my new AIS Math position, I can utilize Google Classroom to post material to help support my students' learning. I can post videos such as BrainPop, Mathantics, and Khan Academy and have the students comment on what they have learned. I have also assigned math fluency work on apps such as MathFactLab and Xtramath. In class for my 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, we always start with a past NYS exam question. I plan on utilizing Google Classroom as an online format to post some of these questions in class, so they get used to taking the test on a computer.

I think the ability to reuse posts from old classes will be really helpful.  This way, I don't have to grab all the links all over again.  I can just reuse the post from last year and change the due date.  This will be a huge time saver.

I love that students will have the independence and ability to work through the assignments at their own pace. 

Stream is nice to be able to reference old materials. Classroom tab is nice to be able to go to different weeks or topics to find where the assignment is. 

I can use Google Classroom to assess students in a variety of different ways. I can post materials for students to use in and out of the classroom as a reminder of how to solve something. It can also help if students forget something they can look at it on Google Classroom. I can also assign different activities to different students based on academic needs and strengths. This can also be used to have students work in groups on one document. I can assign students work on Google Classroom to reinforce what I am teaching in the classroom. I do not use the grading feature as much as I would like to. I need to get my students used to the grading on Google Classroom so they can see how they do and see my feedback. Google Classroom provides differentiated instruction. 

My knowledge of Google Classroom assignments has improved my ability to support students' learning, particularly in terms of assignment setup, by categorizing each folder and then listing all materials or assignments under that specific folder.  This allows for easy access for students to find necessary assignments that they need to complete and turn in.  I also labeled each folder with visual icons to meet the needs of the learners who have more difficulty with reading.

Posting assignments on google classroom is a great way to give students feedback and allow them to use a digital platform,  Students love to do their work on the crome book because it is more than just a paper and pencil.  Google makes it so easy for us to make quizzes, forms, slides ect! As a teacher it is great to be able to look at their work and give them the appropriate feedback or differentiate for each student's needs.  

I am excited to use Google Classroom in my classroom to post work for my students to complete while working independently. I think this would be a great option during small group work when I am working with a small group and want my students to complete something independently on their own. I am easily post assignments for my students to complete and then give them feedback right on the Google Classroom.
