Google Classroom



Intro:
Google Classroom is like a digital classroom hub. Teachers can post assignments, share materials, collect work, and send announcements all in one place. Students can complete and submit work digitally with one click.

Ease of Use:
The layout is simple, predictable, and very organized. Assignments save automatically in Drive, and students can easily find what they need in the Classwork tab.

Versatility:
Teachers can post videos, links, assignments, and quizzes. Students can collaborate on Docs or Slides, submit pictures, or respond to questions. It works for almost any subject and grade level.

Likelihood of Usage:
I expect to use Google Classroom no matter where I teach. It keeps everything structured and makes communication with students and families much easier.

Connection to the Seven-Framework Teaching Strategies:
Google Classroom aligns with #2: Informing Learners of the Objective because teachers can clearly state the purpose, directions, and goals of each assignment. It also supports #7: Assessing the Lesson Outcome, since teachers can collect assignments, review student work, and track who has turned in what, all in one place.
