Why we have chosen to use Google Classroom and the key benefits:
- Work is posted and handed in on Google Classroom, removing the need to send an email in with attachments.
- Tasks can be presented in a more user friendly way, with attachments and Youtube videos next to the task.
- We can keep tasks on Google Classrooms for a longer period.
- Feedback can be attached directly to the piece of work.
- Google Classrooms has a shared ‘stream’ where staff can post messages and stay in touch, and children can respond.
- Google Meet is built in to the service so class video meetings can be arranged much more easily and will not require codes and passwords emailed out.
- No need for printing resources, or reduced need.
