Google Classroom: An Administrator's Perspective

This year at the TechSpot we are offering perspectives from those out in the trenches working with students and technology. 

In case you missed it...

  • In September, we had a guest teacher talk to us about her incorporation of Google Forms in the HS English classroom. 
  • In October, Class Tag was presented by one of our own elementary teachers. 
For this Tech Tuesday I decided to have a conversation not with a teacher, but with an administrator regarding our Google Classroom journey here at the middle school.

The conversation is presented as a podcast in hopes that you find time to have it playing in the background as you are getting those last minute grades entered for the end of Q3.  
You can expect to hear thoughts on...
  • how we got started
  • where we are now
  • what the future holds 

"I'm a huge fan of Google Classroom from more of an organizational standpoint... 
When people need something they have one place to go."

"My biggest concern/need is that every teacher wanted computers in their class..... 
It's a good problem to have." 





"Our students would definitely benefit from a 1:1 environment."

"I don't necessarily have to be in the room to see what they (the teachers) are doing."

"Our students are engaged and we don't want to lose that engagement by pulling out the old paper and pencil again... "
