  • This program has the ability to have co-teachers and create draft

assignments that could be released at a later date.

  • Keeping with this trend, Google recently released additional improvements

to Classroom which include the ability to reuse a post from an existing or previous class as well as the ability to pose questions students can respond to much like a discussion board.

  • “Share to Classroom” extension that gives teachers the ability to “push” a

website to students’ devices so the page opens immediately on all their devices.
