Lots of Good Googly Stuff!

Three Google Improvements You Want to Know About!


One of the features I love about Google is the "Send Feedback" link.  Look for the Question Mark or Exclamation Mark in Google Classroom and Google Forms.  Google is quite responsive to the feedback they receive.




One of these suggestions has resulted in a comment bank to the assignments in Classroom. They are also now testing a new design for the Gradebook which allows you to see all of your assignments and grades on the same screen.  


Google Forms Quizzes have a new beta feature called Locked Mode. This prevents students from navigating away from the Quiz in their Chrome browser until they submit their answers.  Learn more about both of these improvements here.


Currently, the Gradebook and Forms features are available only through signing up for the beta program right here.


New and Improved Google Sites


Think about using the New Google Sites for your next student project.  The New Google Sites has a very sleek and intuitive interface.  


We recently trained a sixth grade class on Google Sites.  The students really enjoyed using this as a learning and presentation platform.  In the past, we only opened Google Sites for Secondary students, however, after piloting this in a sixth grade classroom we decided to open it up for them as well. 


Click on the student sample below which was created by a group of sixth grade students at Cooper.  If you would like us to come and train your students in Google Sites, feel free to hit us up.
