What's New in Google Classroom 2018

If you've gone to the Google Classroom website, you've seen the pop up about "What's New in Google Classroom." If you didn't take the time to take the tour, here is what has changed (please utilize the links for more info):

• New Classwork page— Teachers and students have a new Classwork page. Teachers can post assignments and questions on the page, and also group them into modules or units with topics.

• New grading tool in Classroom—Teachers have a new grading tool where they toggle between student submissions while grading, and save common feedback in a comment bank to use later.

• New People page—Teachers can view class member information on the People page. Teachers can also view, invite, and remove students, co-teachers, and guardians on the page.

• New Settings page—Teachers can edit the class description, change the class code, manage guardian summaries, and control Stream settings on a consolidated Settings page.

• Copy a class—Teachers can copy classwork and topics from an existing class to create a new class.

• Control notifications by class—Teachers and students can turn notifications off for any class.

• Teachers can change grade point values when creating or editing assignments or questions.

• Teachers and students can see updated labels—assigned, turned in, graded—for the status of a student’s work.
