Google Classroom Organization Drawing

Google Classroom Organization Drawing

My organizational design for Google Classroom is centered on its three main sections: streaming; students; about.  The streaming section is where announcements and assignments are posted, which includes the options to attach files and links, as well as upload materials from Google Drive in addition to videos.  I included online discussion under streaming since students and I can post comments.  The student section is where students and I can communicate via email or by posting and commenting.  I am not sure yet if this will be another possible avenue for online discussions, as I am not currently teaching to test it.  The last section is the about section.  This is where I have introduced the course and listed my expectations for the class and student online activity.  Since the about section also provides the options to attach files and links, as well as upload materials from Google Drive in addition to videos, I utilize this section for all necessary curriculum, content, and resources students will need to complete assignments.  This includes TCI History Alive! materials as well as other supplemental materials like handouts, readings, and teacher created materials.  Some of the materials in the about section will be shared via Google Drive.
