Google Classroom has evolved consistently over the past few years. I have updated the Google Classroom section to take account of this. There are a number of departments working with Google Classroom this year

I have tried to illustrate in this updated section how easy it is to set up and monitor Google Classroom and how it could be essential as a teaching and learning tool. 

One issue which tends to come up a lot at this time of year is google log in details. As pupils go to log on for the first time or the first time in a couple of months they run into log in issues. Invariably this has to do with them not using the @lagancollege.co.uk  username. If they use this there shouldn't be an issue.

The snipping tool is an excellent way to cut out or cut around digital images so you can use them in imaginative teaching ways.  You could cut out one section of a photo for example or cut out a Source for Geography, History or English. It is very easy to do and is free on your PC's

Here at TeacherTec we love to share experiences from staff who are using Technology in their classrooms. This week we caught up with Maria McConville to see how she has been using Google Classroom in her teaching, what issues she's encountered so far and what advice she would give to someone starting for the first time!

Many thanks to Maria for catching up with us this week!
