Teaching with Google Classroom

Chapter 2. Inviting Students to Their Virtual Classroom

It's the start of the term and your physical and Google Classrooms are set up and ready for students to enter and for learning to commence. While students simply walk into your physical classroom, in your virtual classroom, students must join the class from a computer or a mobile device. As mentioned in the Preface, Google Classroom excels in classrooms where computers or mobile devices are readily available. Furthermore, students will use the tool more frequently if it is accessible on their own personal devices. If your school lends devices to students on a one-to-one basis, those devices may also need to be set up. Being the teacher, you may need to guide a class of students with different types of computers, tablets, and smart phones to install software and apps and set up Google Classroom. This chapter provides instructions for several types of devices. We will explore various methods of inviting students into a...

Setting up Google Classroom on student devices

Like all of Google Apps, Google Classroom is accessible on any computer or mobile device connected to the Internet. However, not every student will access Google Classroom from the same type of device. Therefore, it is important that you can help guide your students in setting up Google Classroom.

The best time to invite students to Google Classroom is at the beginning of a term. During the first days of class, you will acclimatize your students to your classroom expectations and familiarize your students with the course syllabus. Setting up student devices can be easily integrated into this process so that students are ready to use Google Classroom at the start of the term, reducing the chance of technical difficulties later on.

Tip

Choosing the best time to invite students to Google Classroom

In general, I suggest that inviting students to Google Classroom and ensuring that all their devices are properly set up be done at the beginning of the...

Allowing students to join using the class code

Now that the students have the appropriate apps to use Google Classroom on their computers and mobile devices, it is time for your students to join your class in Google Classroom. Students can join specific classes in Google Classroom using the class code. This is a combination of letters and numbers that identify the unique class in Google Classroom. Any student with a school-issued Google e-mail can join your class if they have access to the class code.

Note

A student can use any device to join a class. Furthermore, once the student has joined your class on a device, they will be able to access your class from any other device where they log in with their school e-mail.

Joining a classroom with the class code

Use the following steps to guide students to join your classroom:

  1. On a laptop or Chromebook, open Google Chrome and from the address bar, navigate to classroom.google.com. On a tablet or smartphone, tap the Google Classroom app:

    Joining a classroom with the class code

  2. Click or...

Managing students in your classroom

The full class list of all students can be found in the STUDENTS section of your class. You will be able to make changes to the students within your class as well as send e-mails to individual students or to the entire class.

Manually inviting students to your classroom

When students are added to your class late in the term or a student is having difficulties joining with the class code, you can manually invite students to your classes. You should use this method as a last resort because manually adding several dozen students to a class is tedious and time-consuming. Follow these instructions to manually invite a student to your class:

Note

While writing this book, mobile devices were unable to add or remove students from the class. It was still possible to send e-mails to individual students from the mobile app.

  1. In Google Classroom, click on the STUDENTS section in the menu and then click on the INVITE button:

    Manually inviting students to your classroom

If you are just starting to use Google Classroom, this book is well written. The easy to follow,step-by-step directions are great for those just getting started.

I decided that I was going to use a lot more technology in my math classes this year in order to engage students more fully. I was scared to death of converting from my traditional paper and pencil routine (hey, at least I finally incorporated interactive notebooks!) to Google Classroom. I have been watching videos and reading blogs and ordering books about Google Classroom for days, now, but it wasn't until I got this book that everything started to click. This is because every other source left out important details that are deemed unimportant or unnecessary. Michael Zhang does not assume you know anything and walks you through every step of every task, leaving nothing out. I just love his approach, because I have a gazillion ideas on what to do with Google Classroom, but I was stumbling over the beginning setup and everything involved with it.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
