=**Tech Tuesday, Dec. 2 - Infinite Campus Enhancements**=

=**TECH TUESDAY, SEPT 9 - GOOGLE CLASSROOM**= Are you comfortable with Google? Are you looking for more ways to collaborate and connect with your classes? Come to our first Tech Tuesday of the school year to learn how you can utilize Google Classroom! Google Classroom lets you communicate with your classes and easily share assignments, materials and messages. We will meet in the library classroom during lunch. Please bring your lunch, a snack will be provided. Please RSVP to Shannon no later than Monday, September 8th.

Google Classroom is basically a document management tool that allows you to create classes for your students to join and gives you the opportunity to assign documents to students all at once without having to use elaborate scripts and add-ons. A folder structure will be created in both you and your student's Drive accounts for quick access to documents. Additionally, students will be able to submit documents to you to be graded and returned to them all digitally and through Drive. Finally, Google Classroom will allow you to email all of your students with their Parkway Google accounts directly from Classroom eliminating the need to make elaborate lists.

Google Classroom can be accessed at @http://classroom.google.com where you will sign in with your Parkway Google account. Be sure to signify that your role is that of a teacher, NOT student to get you started in the right way. Once you are in you will go into queue to be given the permissions of a teacher (that should take about 24 hours). You'll be able to get in, you just won't be able to create a class until permissions are granted. You should receive an email confirmation that you've been added to the Classroom Teachers group.

When students go in, they will be prompted to login to their Parkway Google account and then they will have to choose student. This is where the teacher verification comes in and why it takes a day to verify you.

Here are two resources that are available for you to get started.
