Event Overview

Google Classroom just received its biggest visual layout and feature refresh in years. To ensure these changes deepen student engagement and elevate your instructional delivery—rather than complicating your lesson design—this hands-on, 60-minute webinar is designed to help you purposefully integrate these updates while you build out your classes for the year.

We will dive directly into the new dashboard to show you exactly how to leverage these summer updates to transform daily instruction. You'll learn how to quickly create lessons and rubrics, set up interactive reading activities, and use new practice tools that give students extra help exactly where they need it.

Note: Make sure to register at the "Virtual Meet Link" attached to this event!
