Using Google Keep to Save Time Commenting on Student Work

Google Keep is a great organization tool in the GSuite. You can use it to keep lists for a variety of reasons such as To-Do Lists, lesson planning & resources, etc. Never used Google Keep - check out this video for the basics. How about using it to help you save time when grading student work or completing report cards?

We made it through the first half of the school year! As we start second semester, there are a few Google Classroom housekeeping items you will want to take care of. 1. Use Google Classroom in All Classes (4th through 12th grades) The District is using Google Classroom as a main communication tool with parents. Here are the Google Classroom expectations for all teachers grades 4 through 12. 2. Archive Semester 1 Classes If you teach a semester class, it is a good idea to archive it at the end of the semester. This means that the Google Classroom is no longer active which will remove it from your dashboard and the dashboards of the students enrolled in that class. Also, by archiving it you are saving all the posts that can then be reused in other classes this school year or next school year. (This might save you some time when posting things in your classroom. Here is a video explaining how to reuse posts. ) To...
