Our department utilizes Google Classroom for daily and weekly assignments. Google Classroom allows students to access their assignments, view handouts, and submit work. Students can access their Google Classroom account from any computer or mobile device. They may even download the free app! As teachers we love Google Classroom, as it allows us to access student work, provide feedback, submit grades, and track student progress. For most assignments, students will turn in their work using this site. This ensures student work is not lost or late.
