Classroom is a new tool in the Google Apps for Education suite and available for WRSD. It’s designed to give teachers more time to teach and students more time to learn. Classroom is basically a web-based platform for easier management of assignments and projects. With Classroom, teachers can create and organize assignments quickly, provide feedback efficiently, and communicate with their classes with ease and initiate real time discussions. Classroom lets students organize their work in Google Drive, complete and turn it in, and communicate easily with their teachers and peers. It may well be described as the "classroom of the future." The tool can also allow students to maximize the way they use their Google Chromebooks and other laptops and mobile devices.
