The most commonly used feature in Google Classroom is uploading MCQs and assignments for formative assessment. The Examination admin marks the attendance as this has been used mostly in synchronous mode as of now. I have created student groups and assigned different topics that include tables, pictures and text. Mostly I have uploaded text in jpg form.

ReplyDeleteI created a Google classroom so that I can explore it. As a student I have only joined in using the code send by my teachers, now I created one. Created the class by adding the class name, section, subject, room. Tried to add materials through classwork option. There are 4 sources through which material can be 1. Google Drive 2. Link 3.File 4.YouTube.
ReplyDeleteExplored the option post which had 4 sub-options
* post the material on spot
* schedule (post the material on a fix date and time)
* save draft (just save the material)
*discard draft (just discard the materials).
