Re: For any and all Teachers on T-Net

Never seen. I ask my kid what the teacher said to do and he replies nothing. We watch videos.

Well ask your teacher for help tomorrow. Can't , she'll tell is to watch the videos.

I've been able to watch the videos and explain it to son all but 1 time. They were dividing fractions using some sort of block matrix sorting and shading. I was onboard until they started dividing mixed fractions. I couldn't figure that out for the life of me. WOrse than laplace transformations. Then I was like , fork this crap.

I showed him the proper way to divide fractions. He said the teacher would mark it wrong. I Told him as long as he got the answer right with my method I wouldn't care what the teacher said.

I have been using Google Classroom every day for the past two years for assignments, announcements, and distributing material to students. It allows you to post assignments with attachments from your drive so that students can work on their iPads, Chromebooks, etc. It eliminates the paper mess, for the most part, on my desk and allows me to keep up with students' work more efficiently. It creates a separate folder for each class in your drive, along with separate folders for each assignment that you give. I am a huge fan. I've also switched over to giving quizzes as Google Forms; there is an add-on called Flubaroo for Sheets that will allow you to create a key for your quiz and have it graded and emailed to students immediately with descriptions of questions that were missed if you choose to do so. Classroom doesn't come without its pitfalls, however; students occasionally have issues opening files that you send them and sometimes prefer the "old-fashioned" paper/pencil method as opposed to opening files and working in an app such as Notability, but I think the pro's far outweigh the cons. I'm all about making my job a little easier, and classroom helps me do that to a certain extent. If you have any more questions, feel free to send me a direct message (or whatever it's called on here) with your email...my planning period has come to an end. Good luck.
