Q1: What are/were your first impressions or initial thoughts of GClass? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: When it first came out, I was not impressed. Wasn't sure how it would be useful. #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Joining late. Michelle, HS English , Norwalk High School. First time participating; often lurk, however. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: 1st impression of GClass - this is my avenue to get into the S's digital world, I want to play with it. I did all last year. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Skeptical at first. Wanted to ease my way in - but Ss pushed me to fully adopt. Wouldn't go back now #ankedchat https://t.co/rCUVaMRSNx

A1: Wow! This is easy. Everything is in one place and I can quickly get what I need to students. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Yes - def a feature I love as well! #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Lots of conversations with my team about how we would use together - Ss wanted consistency between classes! #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: I get to spend more time giving quick and meaningful feedback instead of grades. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS We need to live in their world. #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: I was excited but worried about how functional it would be for both my students and me. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS exactly - give the Ss one place to go #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer Totally - It's so easy to access work! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:08 PM EDT

I'm using Participate Chat tonight instead of Tweetdeck - it's working wonders. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer The speed at which I can give them information is a huge benefit! #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: I was super excited, but cautious as well. How much was too much? Parents couldn't see (now they can). #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS It's funny how often this comes up. Glad you had those convos. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:09 PM EDT

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:10 PM EDT

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: I was super excited, but cautious as well. How much was too much? Parents couldn't see (now they can). #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret I wish the calendar tied into our existing calendar. Do you add other things to the classroom one? #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: GClass has a built in community of support. Someone has already done what you are trying and willing to share. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@DRich0696 @davenport78 you can now import Ps emails so they can see all the assignments & their student's work. #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret I'm still trying to figure out how to make this functional for multiple classes. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Do you all like this option or is it too much info for parents? #ankedchat https://t.co/WkI1Txjj4R

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@DRich0696 @davenport78 you can now import Ps emails so they can see all the assignments & their student's work. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: I post GDocs for Ss to access most via announcements or About - I also post assignments form time to time. #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@davenport78 I add imp dates but S keep theirs update. S share with P's so seemless info. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: As a GAFE school, I was excited for a platform to comm. and assign lessons to my Ss. Then could house all assign in 1 place. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@johnccarver Welcome John it's great to have you here! #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Very excited to be back. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@DRich0696 It's brand new - so IDK yet - Ps can adjust how many notifications they get. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine It looks like it's a natural part of how you teach!! It's a tool! #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: I post announcements and reminders; FAs; curriculum links, etc in the About section. Grading features are awesome. #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Loove that screencastify and WeVideo saves into Google drive so project turn in easy. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: I love that I can attach videos, GDocs, links, etc... #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@davenport78 How do you use the grading features? I am relatively new and only know basics. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Creating individual copies of my master notes sheets for students to manipulate. It used to be a cumbersome process b4 GClass #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS It's my planning tool as well. #ankedchat #twobirdsonestone

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: I use the question feature often for a quick formative. The ease with which I can change an activity on the fly is great. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek Yes! this is an awesome feature! #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@DRich0696 I have Ss turn in their assignments & then grade them. I can score there too. Shows missing & when Ss turn in. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2b: Use GClass for discussions too - Have students learn digital conversation in a safe space. #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I like using the "about" tab to house documents and links that Ss will always need access to through the semester. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Ok. We have a team calendar where we enter assignments that aren't on classroom and due dates too. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Me too! Great "static" place for students. #ankedchat https://t.co/pwKFjgSGtk

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I like using the "about" tab to house documents and links that Ss will always need access to through the semester. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer Paperless exit slips using the question feature. I really liked this update. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Sorry I'm a bit "off" tonight - my Tweetdeck is a bit funky for some reason. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q3: What are your favorite assignments you use in GClass? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@MrsFlores701 YES! #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine I know!! I love that--as a teacher, but love it more as a parent!! #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

If we are using technology as an engagement tool, not just a $1000 pencil, Google Classroom allows students to interact & create. #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I also use announcements to link to readings and assignments for assessments. Love that it creates separate items for each Ss. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@DRich0696 GC has a guardian view. You can invite Ps & they can subscribe to a daily or weekly view of class updates. #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: I also like the functionality of linking a form and using that for quick assessment. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek So maybe it's not just me - it's been acting up all week and now I have a blank Notifications column. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: Fav assignment in GClass is the online scavenger hunt. The assignment is the home base + #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: When there's a format that I want students to follow. Templates with "make each student a copy" #ankedchat https://t.co/BX6f6t2Qmy

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q3: What are your favorite assignments you use in GClass? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I need to use the question option more for formative data, but need to learn more first - 1:1 is new for 16-17 so still learning #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I'm really digging the new "Topic" feature. My stream and the student's is so much more organized. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3b: Use a GForm to start then the links, docs, videos are the places they go to find the answers. #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: I love using GClass for collaborative assessments. Makes it easy for everyone to work together. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: When I want students to use web resources or view my Google resources. It's SO easy to get them where they need to be #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@DRich0696 You went to Chromeboooks, didt you? Were on yr two here. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@davenport78 @GoveiaSS Wow! Definitely a small world! #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Having all assignments in one place makes it easy to assess. It also makes copies for all Ss. Easy peasy! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS Agreed - great for them to start from the same position and I can point them where I want them to progress. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret @DRich0696 -- @davenport78 and I are on year 4 if you ever want contacts to collaborate/troubleshoot with! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Completely agree! I love that they listen to the users & add what we want. #ankedchat https://t.co/9STJKBVAzQ

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I'm really digging the new "Topic" feature. My stream and the student's is so much more organized. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Anything where collaboration is necessary to complete and students need to be working on the same doc, project, etc. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer Yes! Me too!! #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek The collaborative aspect just thrives with GClass. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Yes - new this week so the learning curve for me is fairly steep. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Anybody else like the co-teacher feature? Our team uses shared classroom spaces for shared initiatives. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Yes! I love that feature for my co-taught classes! #ankedchat https://t.co/jGrrF6rmub

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS You are right. This is awesome especially to collaborate with special ed and resource teachers! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q4: How is GClass a time-saver? #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A4: Everything is in one place. Saves time for me and for the Ss. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A4: No need for sub plans. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS Many of my Ss ask if they can work on things at home because they like how easy it is to collaborate with GClass. #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I love using a shared doc and the "Word Cloud Generator" Add On to brainstorm as a class. Small groups become one quickly. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: Time, money, and energy is saved by not printing every document that students need. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: One-stop shop! No more going to multiple places and losing time in block. #ankedchat https://t.co/ypYgX7tfPq

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q4: How is GClass a time-saver? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: No need for Ss to say "I missed yesterday, did I miss anything?" #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:25 PM EDT

THIS makes all the difference! #ankedchat https://t.co/6XPLTHZVTa

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS Many of my Ss ask if they can work on things at home because they like how easy it is to collaborate with GClass. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: Immediate feedback as the student is working on their project, writing piece, etc. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: The scheduling feature is awesome! Add whenever you want. AND you can post to multiple classes and reuse posts. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine I had never thought to just leave the documents/checklist for Ss. May have to try this! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: No need to take time at the printer...just post it in GClass. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@davenport78 I tried that today and will use it often! #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Agreed. Also like that I can share items with Ss at anytime easily. #ankedchat https://t.co/JRhrCqwYxp

  Q4: How is GClass a time-saver? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS I record a teaching video of the content so the sub doesn't have to do a thing except make sure they're on task. #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:27 PM EDT

I was grading formatives during lunch at ITEC last year. Out of state and still interacting with students. #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Sep 1 @ 9:27 PM EDT

GoogleDoc copy feature on Gclass comes as close to paperless as Ive seen! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: No need to repeat the instructions over & over for those who weren't listening...all posted in GClass. #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Snow day activities. Kids at home and still have an opportunity to learn and explore something fun. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine I use it to monitor my Ss when I have a sub and I'm out. When you comment from a far, Ss work much harder. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: Student Turn/In of assignments has become an expectation of mine for when class starts - no more waiting to submit. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek yes - the first time it happens, their reactions are priceless. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer I would like to try this! Last year we didn't have any snow days! :) #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:29 PM EDT

And Ts don't have to keep track of any paper (I'm the worst at organization of real paper assignments). #ankedchat https://t.co/KPt9uZjn2v

It's great to make comments and return work so students can use the feedback and resubmit. #ankedchat

GClass coupled with GoGuardian with screen view and I can remote moniter just about EVERY aspect! #ankedchat

Q5: What uses of GClass to you feel are most valuable? #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@DRich0696 It's so easy to resubmit. I just wish GC would alert me, the teacher, when Ss resubmit. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine When it happens, I ALWAYS get "snitching" emails. Eventually problems go away and Ss keep learning. Evil? Yes. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Definitely want more info on GoGuardian! #ankedchat https://t.co/KERjKC3Kn3

GoGuardian has hiccups w/updates this fall, but I can watch screens real time. First time I lock screens creates collective gasp. #ankedchat

@DRich0696 That's how I feel about a lot of things, too - love chats like this one! #ankedchat

The addition of cross domain classrooms has been a big deal too. They love being able to collaborate with S's from other schools. #ankedchat

@hoffmanteambret does this have to be a system choice? Our dist is not in - but wondered if I could use it as an individual. #ankedchat

@BTDelaney Welcome Coach! #ankedchat #lurker

A6: I can now create groups of students from different sections to collaborate and build off each other all day. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A6: I'm not sure the GClass helps my Ss collaborate anymore than Sharing docs and slides. But if it does, do tell! #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A6: Discussion/Question feature. They discuss together. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer How do you do this? #ankedchat

BTDelaney Sep 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine @Mr_Lisek unless the Internet is down! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6: When I give Edit access to a Doc, Ss can easily collaborate on that doc. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6: I have had Ss who were homebound or on a sick day log in and participate with the class. It's great to keep all in the loop. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@GoveiaSS I do like the discussion/question feature. I haven't had a chance to use that yet this school year though. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@BTDelaney @Mr_Lisek or some crazy new filter is slowing everything down to a snail's pace. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek This is a wonderful feature!! I've had Ss on vacation do this too. #ankedchat

Same! Ss come back as if they were never gone from class (the responsible ones anyway). #ankedchat https://t.co/gTJyw73O1N

Q7: How do you put a positive spin on GClass for colleagues? #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine We can't get them all, but if just one does, the difference is made. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A7: Just model what it does and talk about the positives! Work w/ them to make it easy. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A7: GClass allows everyone to be connected all day, not just while in class together. Ss can turn in assignments any time. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A7: Constant positive news. #ankedchat https://t.co/UMA8y7Ri7t

A7: @GoveiaSS & I did a quick inservice on it for our teachers before school. Modeled a class by adding them to it. Ts bought in! #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A7: Exposure and modeling. Invite colleagues in to see GClass at work with Ss. Let Ss talk it up. #ankedchat

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A7: Ss were a huge part of the reason to adopt it around our building. #ankedchat

Agreed. Many Ts at my school use it. #ankedchat https://t.co/aZPrmNscLh

If T's arent into tech, i dont suggest. Teach w/ Tech is harder than trad. teaching. Give up control hard. #ankedchat

thinkteach Sep 1 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A7: Ease of setup, management sells itself if T's are open to it. It's not a full-featured LMS...and that's ok. Easier adoption #ankedchat

A7: Once parents saw it, they supported it too. Asked other teachers why they weren't using it. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 1 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer We used Edmodo at one time for just that, but GClass is catching up. It makes sense for a GAFE school. #ankedchat

@thinkteach do you have the answer to this? #ankedchat https://t.co/CR5hajlhbw

MadameSchreck Sep 1 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@DRich0696 I thought it was a subscription service that had to be administered by a district. Is it not?! I have iPads essentially 180days.

GoveiaSS Sep 1 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A7: Our school has been in the Google World for four years. It's fun to talk about new tools and features. #ankedchat

thinkteach Sep 1 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine That's the best workaround I've found as well. Do you find it gets too cumbersome. #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 1 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A7: The biggest tool is when students ask other teachers to set it up because you made school exciting and engaging. #learningwin #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 1 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@thinkteach Not too bad - I have 3 sets of Classrooms for content (basic, std, & extend) - I copy a lot of posts and adjust. #ankedchat

thinkteach Sep 1 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret I still suggest, but I agree that it's definitely harder. T's have to be on point with good practices #ankedchat

BTDelaney Sep 1 @ 9:48 PM EDT

google is moving in the right direction with gclass. The addition of the topics is very helpful! Best thing I tell it's free #ankedchat

@davenport78 I call that reaching critical mass, when NOT adopting is seen as unusual, momentum shifts. #ankedchat

A8: I'll be looking into cross domain classrooms a little more to find out how that works. Thanks, @NKleinmeyer #ankedchat

MrsFlores701 Sep 1 @ 9:50 PM EDT

My only issue with GClass so far is that it isn't great to demonstrate close reading without doing wacky legends or other things. #ankedchat

davenport78 Sep 1 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A8: So many new ideas, but I do like the lessons for when I have a sub.Going to explore calendar as well. #ankedchat
