In this course I learned how to add emojis to my Google Classroom. I added them to the topics in my current Google Classroom as I think it will make it easier for students to navigate the page. I plan on incorporating them in the future for assignments as well to give students a visual to look for. Seeing the students side of Google Classroom was interesting. Knowing that students are able to see all of their missing work in one spot is helpful. I also plan on using that tool on the teacher side. I often assign pixel art and other assignments during block time on Google Classroom. Being able to go to one spot to see who hasn't finished the assignment is a time saver. I haven't used the gradebook feature on Google Classroom yet, but I plan to going forward. I like how you can go back and review students work from the gradebook as well. This would come in handy for report cards or tracking data of a specific skill. I wish I knew that I could review students work all from one tab. It would have saved me so much time and clicking. Google Classroom has so many great features. This badge helped me realize that there are built in components that can make what I am already doing that much easier for myself and my students.
