6 Tips for Getting Started with Google Classroom

If you are just getting started with Google Classroom, these 6 tips for getting started with Google Classroom will help you think about your setup and organization.

Before you get started, be sure to download the FREE Google Classroom Cheat Sheets for Teachers and Students.

1. Use Google Chrome

To maximize the features in Google Classroom, teachers and students should use the Google Chrome browser. Google Chrome is a fantastic learning environment for all things Google!

Here are 5 Chrome extensions that make Google Classroom even better.

2. Create Naming Conventions for Your Classes

Create a consistent and descriptive naming convention for your classes before you begin creating classes inside Google Classroom. Consider including the semester or school year to keep things organized. Example: 7th Period U.S. History 20-21.

Here are more Google Classroom tips you didn’t know.

3. Create Naming Conventions for Your Assignments

Consistency in naming your assignments will help you and your students find what you need. Consider numbering your assignments and be descriptive. Be sure to include the learning goal! This will also help you locate files in Google Drive. Example: #035 Poe Author Study.

4. Use Topics to Organize

Create topics to organize your content, assignments, and resources. From the Classwork page, click on “Create” to add new topics. I suggest creating a topic for year-round resources so they are easy to locate, like “Class Resources.” Consider what topics fit your curriculum the best.

5. Differentiate Assignments

Make use of one of the great features of Google Classroom that allows you to give assignments to individual students or groups of students. Every student doesn’t have to do the exact same assignment at the same time. Get the details here: How to Differentiate Assignments in Google Classroom.
