Get up and running with the Google Classroom. This three hour, online workshop will showcase the layout and functionality features of G Classroom at the beginner user level. We will approach the learning platform from both the teacher and student perspectives to allow you to gain an understanding of the “whole user” experience. The workshop will provide time for direct instruction and then “breakout” time for students to work asynchronously with live instructor support.
