Google Classroom Updates

Many if not all of you should have received your email to join the google classroom updates. It will be a useful tool in keeping updated on what your student is doing in class and if they are missing work. A couple of things to remember when checking the google classroom updates.


1. If it says it's not done that means your student didn't click the button to turn it in. I may have graded it, or given them credit. For instance on a quiz, I get the scores on the "google form" that they complete, but they don't have to click done or turn it in for them to get their scores. Many students get their score and assume you will also know they completed it. This was the main concern today as many parents got a reminder that their students did not complete the chapter 1 quiz, but actually the student never marked the quiz done on the classroom.

2. Not all scores will be entered on google classroom. Most homework assignment the grades are entered as Did the assignment or didn't do the assignment. If it wasn't turned in it will be a 0 on infinite  campus or a missing. For papers, projects, and tests I will usually enter those scores on Google Classroom before they are entered on IC.

3. The due dates aren't always accurate. This hasn't been an issues yet this year but sometimes I will assign something and it will take significantly longer than I expected. If that's the case your student may appear to have a missing assignment or a late assignment when I just haven't updated the due date.

This is my first year using the guardian updates so please bear with me. I am excited for another way to keep you in the loop about your child's class.
