The Ultimate Guide To Making Your Classroom Digital As a teacher, you're at the frontline of education. You feel the societal changes the most as you converse and interact with bright young minds on a daily basis. It is without doubt that technology has fully incorporated itself into our lives regardless of age. Your kindergartener will have probably swiped a touch pad screen before even learning their alphabet. Your middle schoolers will probably remember an entire list of complex Minecrafter potions before they wrap their minds around Math equations. The point is, technology has done such an effective job in our personal life that young minds are already reaping the benefits of improved memory, focus, interest and much more that we will discuss later on in this book. The problem we are seeing though, is formal education isn't keeping up with our student's personal lives. We are losing the battle to hold their imaginations in the classroom because the multitude of games outside the classroom is infinitely more fun. Alas, this doesn't have to be the case. If a game about building blocks (reference to Minecraft) is the most interesting game for young minds, then it just tells me it's not the content but the delivery. This is where I want to bring Google Classroom onto the frontline with you teachers. Google Classroom is an exciting virtual classroom, designed and made with the modern teacher and the students of today in mind. You are still teaching the same content, but the delivery will instantly match your student's expectations. Not only that, but Google purposely made Google Classroom with the intention to improve efficiency, so teachers spend less time doing admin work and more time doing what teachers do best, teach! Here is a preview of what you'll learn: - An overview of the interface and its benefits in the modern classroom - The new dynamics between teacher and learner - How to add students and classes - Using Google Forms, Calendar, and Slides with the Classroom interface - Examples of how to incorporate the tools into the classroom With the knowledge included in this book as a guide, you can implement virtual classrooms in your school and gain the full benefits such a program has to offer. Whether you use it in conjunction with an in-person class or as a completely digital experience, Google Classroom can be a fantastic, easy way to provide a personalized learning experience to your students.
