Great tips, as usual. Your videos are so consistent with quality and approach, giving tips, pros and cons, thinking tactically (e.g. the tips) and strategically (i.e. coordinate learning management systems/use of Google classroom within your school to facilitate student ease of locating information).
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow! I didn't know what I didn't know. Thank you so much for this high quality content. Very useful!
Thanks Jed-Sarah! Glad you found it useful 😃
I am a fan. Learned so much over this past two years.

This video is so informative!
I love it! Thanks, Sam!
You're welcome!
Wish I could give this two thumbs up. Great ideas!!
Thank you for such a concise and incredible tutorial video.
Glad you found it helpful Georgia!
Amazing Video Sam! Thank you so much for posting.
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
You're really great. Thanks!
Thank you, Sam! This is a game-changer. I have used GC for years but I learned so much and will totally reorganize my classes following your tips. I have shared it with my colleagues as well.
Glad you found it helpful, Rachael!
Excellent tips. Thinking about efficiency and learners' experience.
Glad you found it helpful, Mercedes!
Thank you Sam, perfect timing. I know you also helped teachers use Seesaw for elementary level. Could you do a tutorial of how teachers could benefit from the strength of use Google Classroom's topic organisation and draft activity organisation with Seesaw's shared student activity. So, especially iPad app and Chromebook younger children have can more easily find a learning unit's topic and be easily linked to Seesaw's activity for the creative tools to complete tasks. Targeted to for grade 3, 4, 5 where we are preparing them for transition. Hope you think the idea has merit, all your support is invaluable for busy class teachers - thank you!
Thank you for the idea and comment! I know this is a super late reply but we'll consider the idea :)
Always amazed by your content! Just when I think I know it all, you add a next level element that makes my life so much easier! Thank you especially for the organization tips!!!! Are you hiring?!? Lol!
You're very welcome! Glad we were able to show you some tips to help you out!
This has been very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do it. Can you point me in the right direction for how to 'debug/try out' a class you setup. I'd like to add a dummy student, login as that student and see what things look like. Since this is my first time ever using google classroom, I don't know if it is a good thing to do this. Plus, I think I'd have to move all my assignments from 'draft' to publish then reassign back to their publish dates. Sorry for the newbie questions!
This is great - thank you so much for creating these fast-moving and value-packed videos.
An alternative view on Tip #2: I really like posting all assignments to the stream and I think students appreciate the easy access, too. The stream becomes a chronological index (most current always at the top, and class work becomes the topic-based index). Just another way of organizing. 👍🏼
Right on: there are definitely more ways to do it! I think the most important thing is consistency, ideally across an entire school (or at least grade level).
@@NextGenTeacher Agreed! Consistency is key. Let students know what to expect.
Thank you! Big help. 💯
You're very welcome!
Love these tips. Thank you
Glad you like them, Ani! 😃
Love your videos... Very helpful 👍
Glad to be of help!
Thank you for this video! At the 7:38 minute, you mention something about taking our students to "their individual copy". I've been unsuccessfully trying to find out how to actually do it for quite a while. Could anyone give me a hint about how to do that?
Sam, really, really great stuff...thank you
You're welcome!
This video was amazing! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I thought I was very proficient in Google Classroom. However, I did learn several things that I will be using. Thank you❣👍😊🥰
You're very welcome, Jo!
This is awesome! Thank you❤️
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Sam! It helped me to understand google classroom even further. If you don't mind, can you share the link to download Mote? It will be very helpful.
Here it is! chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mote-voice-notes-feedback/ajphlblkfpppdpkgokiejbjfohfohhmk?hl=en-US
Thank you so much! It helps me a lot in my teaching. I want you to make a video tutorial about the Microsoft team. Thank in advance
You're very welcome! Yeah, we've been meaning to move into the Microsoft world so as to start making tutorials soon!
@@NextGenTeacher Thanks
Very welcome!
Thank you 💐
You're welcome! 😀
Thank you very much for all the guidance you provide. I have a problem in uploading a google classroom header.I need your help, I used to do it easily but no more. the size of the image is zoomed when showing on the header although I do adjust it to 800x200pixels. very frustrating and I have no idea what went wrong?
Yeah the headers can be finicky. Here's a tutorial someone did on how to do it more effectively - czcams.com/video/bnvfunSB_mc/video.html
We teach 6 science units each year w/about 13 lessons in each unit. The bundle idea is great for assignments, but I wish I had a way to create a Topic w/sub lessons. Now I have to create 13 x 6 topics and it just a pain imo. In Google Drive you can create folders in folders and for me it's more aesthetically pleasing.
Super helpful!
So glad to hear that!
thx for the wonderful video, plz can you help me create a second assignment only after a student turns in the first assignment ion a classroom?
Hm, not sure if you're able to do that in Google Classroom.
Is there a way to output data that is input on a Jamboard into Google Sheets or Excel?
Hi, Thanks for this video, may I ask when I install this Mote, do my students need also to download the apps for them?
No, students can still listen to the audio file without the Mote extension, but they will be taken over to the website as opposed to being able to listen to it directly within Slides, Forms, Classroom, etc.
Hi Sam, awesome tutorial.. I had a question: is it possible to have students join an assignment via link, but without them having access to the other assignments? (until the link for those assignments are provided individually - later on)? if they join the classroom, they can see all the assignments - ones that I don't want to assign to them yet.
You can 'schedule' the assignments that you don't want them to see yet; they won't be visible to any of the students until the scheduled publish date. Hit the arrow next to 'assign' when creating the assignment and you'll see the 'schedule' option.
Forgive me if this has been asked/answered, but with Mote audio comments (seems extremely handy), do the students need to install the extension on their end? I always try to minimize that with my second language learners here in Korea who are quite unfamiliar with extensions and most things Google. Your tips couldn't be more timely and useful for me, literally organizing my Google Classrooms all afternoon today! Thanks a bunch :)
Thanks, Paul! They do need to install it for the best user experience. If they don't have it installed, they can still listen to it, but it will take them over to another website rather than playing the audio directly in Google Classroom.
Tip 5: Let's say it is Week 2. Monday is a holiday. Would Tuesday be 2.2 or 2.1? 2.2 for the 2nd day of the week or 2.1 because Tuesday is the 1st day of instruction for the week. Which is a better way to organize?
It's up to you and how you communicate it to students. In the video, I said 2.1 would mean week 2, Monday's assignment. But your system could be 2.1 where it's week 2, but the 1 just means the first assignment of the week. Whichever you do, just communicate it to students. But if I'm doing the second number as the day of the week, I would say 2.2 for Tuesday's assignment, even if Tuesday is the first day of school that week.
I use Google Classroom a lot. But I can't understand why Google doesn't add a search bar in it. My Classwork page is crowded with materials. For my personal use, there is no way to make it well organized. A search bar would be perfect.
Couldn't agree more with that!
Could you use Control/Command + F?
@@patrickshipway8791 Not really. Classroom hides the Materials or Activities after 10 entries. So you have to keep clicking "show more" until you finally find the thing you add earlier. Unless you already clicked on "show more" enough times, trying to search using Ctrl+F won't help.
Awesome tips bro
Thanks, Halimi!
This was just awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 💯💯😀
You're very welcome!!
Question : for younger students who need maybe 2 weeks to complete a project .. how would you label this assignment if doing so by weeks and not subject??
Maybe Week 1-2 and Week 3-4?
I LOVE reusing assignments created from past trimesters/years. However, periodically it will NOT allow me to reuse a post!! Suggestions?
I am using ms team for classroom. Would like to know how to give stickers or emoji to individual student while teaching learning process takes place. Secondly, like to know how to incorporate constructive feedback to individual student during lesson.
Hey Sudha, here is a tutorial about emojis in MS Teams that may be helpful - czcams.com/video/n2ngn9qRreI/video.html.
And constructive feedback to individual students is a big topic for a CZcams comment, but I would trying Googling 'how to give students constructive feedback' to see what you can find.
clear and specific however it would be nice if the speaker spoke a little slower especially for first-time Google classroom users. Thanks for the information.
Got it. Thanks for the feedback Marie! There is also an option on CZcams where you can slow the speed of the video down; it's called 'playback speed' and it's found when you click on the little gear near the bottom right of the video when watching it on your computer.
Thank you! I am not seeing the link for your video for students that you referenced about 12:05 from your other channel? Not finding it. Thank you
Sorry about that! Here it is: czcams.com/video/lMOLD3CNZaU/video.html&t
@@NextGenTeacher thanks!
@@suzannesperl4917 You're welcome!
Is it possible to have a calendar on my google classroom?
I have a question about GC for you. I was wondering if there is a way to stop the students from being able to submit an assignment after the due date or time? Or is there a way to see the time when they actually submit it?
Hey Jayne. This reply is super late but thought I'd pass this along in case anyone else has the question. There isn't a way to prevent late work in Google Classroom but I did come across this article that talks about using a separate tool called SafeDoc to do that. I haven't used SafeDoc though so I can't speak to it's effectiveness.

Thanks for the tips. I teach High School Biology and I try to find a system so the students can easily find documents related to the topics we studied throught out the school year. I am not convinced that setting up my courses by week rather than chapters is the best. What do you think?
I also teach Biology and I set up my course by topic. Each post within the topic starts with the day and date. Sometimes I start with T1 W6. Depends on what the class prefers.
Hi Jean-Marc, I think the most important thing is to make sure your LMS is easily navigable and doesn't require interpretation on the part of students. It's probably okay to set up your Google Classroom based on chapters as long as students know which chapter you are on (and you aren't skipping around), and the most recent chapter is posted to the top. If in doubt, ask someone else who is not a student in your class to find your most recent assignment/make sense of where to find work. If they can, great. If not, you might want to refine your organization system.
Is it possible that if a student has turned off his mic or camera but the teacher can still somehow see or hear him?
Brilliant
🙏 😃
Can we just label them using the beginning letter of the week as 1. M (Monday) , 1 T
( Tuesday) , 1 W, 1 TH , 1 F ? Instead of 1.1, 1.2?
You can do whatever works for you!
Thank you so much Sam 🙏
You're very welcome!
Is there a link for the scavenger hunt resource? Or is there just a course detailing how to build one.
We don't offer the scavenger hunt as a free resource, but it is available as a downloadable to Academy members or if you purchase access to our How to Get Your Tech-Integrated Classroom Up & Running course! newedtechclassroom.com/academy
Please help. Google docs sent to Google Classroom invade my entire drive. There are hundreds in my drive. How can I have assignments with docs go back to a specific folder instead find them in my docs? Thanks.
Hi, How to assign ten students out of hundred students to one teacher out of five teachers in google class

Hey Petar, this article may help - support.google.com/edu/classroom/answer/7449476?hl=en
Sadly Mote is not free. Only for 30 days.
wow
I know, right? 😯
If it was spoken a bit more slowly it would help comprehension, especially for whom English is not a first language.
Click on the little gear in the bottom right hand of the video. You can set the speed of the video to 0.75 or 0.5 and slow it down.
@@vandermixon thank you
Thanks for your suggestion!
,why are You so fast?????😕
All videos are so helpful. But speed....
Glad to hear you like the content! Some of our videos are quicker paced whereas others are slower a little bit slower. But we appreciate the feedback!
Click on the little gear in the bottom right hand of the video. You can set the speed of the video to 0.75 or 0.5 and slow it down.
You give good tips but were talking so fast I had to keep going back. It took me double the time to watch this video.
Thank you for your feedback!
You say slowly.
Sorry I spoke too quickly! On CZcams if you click on the little gear ⚙️ icon you can change the speed of the video so it plays slower.
talking is way too fast. given that so many people really find this video important, I'm sure I'll come back to it. But I'm a raw beginner in Google classroom. Not recommended for raw beginners.
Google class sucks
It's just an organization system, so akin to saying a filing cabinet "sucks", but to each their own.
