When I have a better understanding of something, such as Google Classroom (which I love!), then my students have a better understanding, too. Google Classroom really helps students to know expectations as a class as everything is accessible in one place. I felt like I really became well-versed in GC during COVID out of sheer necessity. I posted assignments and quizzes regularly to keep students engaged in what we were learning or reading in class. It also helped to see if I needed to reinforce a topic or dive deeper into a topic if students were confused. Overall, it is a great way to stay organized and distribute assignments/resources to students efficiently. I also find that teaching Professional Development courses via Google Classroom has allowed me to become more comfortable over the years, especially in the Classwork tab.
