 Hi, this is Ebony and in this tutorial, I will give you some tips to help you with using, organizing, and assigning student work as a co-teacher in Google Classroom. As you begin navigating your classroom within a classroom, there are several features within this learning management system that will make this easy for you and your students. Alright, so let's get started by looking at the stream. So when we talk about having a classroom within a classroom, the stream is very important and this is how you can get messages out to your students and communicate with them by sending announcements. So if I wanted to send an announcement, let's just say I want to tell everyone hello and give them a quick reminder about their assignments. Now once I've made my announcement and those features I was saying I talked about earlier that makes this so easy to use in a co-teaching situation for your students is that now there are all these students in the classroom but I only want to send this message to my student. So now that I have sent that message, I have chosen the student I wanted to send it to, I can post. I also wanted to remind you that you can choose, if you're co-teaching in other classrooms, you can also tap on those classrooms and send it to those classrooms as well. It will go ahead and send a message and you can easily go in and edit and choose the student that you need to send it to. So now that I've chosen my student, I can post. And now my message is on the stream. So just to give you an idea of what that looks like on the student side. So here is the one student in the class. So both of my students in my class. This is a student that is not my student, they're in the regular class. And then here is my student. And when I refresh and update, you can see they get the message and the other student do not. So that feature and where you can choose a specific student really helps when managing the classroom within the classroom. So let's also take a look at classwork. So when assigning students classwork, again, you tap create and you can create assignments and depending on what you want, we're going to choose assignment here and name it and send them to complete. And just like with assignments, I can add things from my drive and upload them and make a copy for every student. I can add links to videos, links to internet sites, anything that you need, you can add to this assignment. All right, we go over to our features again, and I want to choose that specific student. After I choose my student, another thing that can help with organizing this not only for them, but for yourselves is by topics. So I can create depending on what naming conventions you want to use for your topics within a classroom. It's really easy to just have a conversation about that. So I can choose either reading vocabulary. I want this to be a reading assignment. But you could also do it by name. You can do it by classes. It really just depends on how you want to organize it. Because you can think of these as folders. I've got my student in there. I've got my topic. Now I'm going to assign. So now that I've signed it, I can see here's my reading assignment, my vocabulary assignment, and I know what students I have assigned it to. And again, it tells me who I've assigned it to if I were to do the drop down. Again, from the student side, just to give you an idea of what it will look like. Here's the first other student in the class that did not receive my assignment. They do not get any notification whatsoever of that assignment. And for my student that is in my class, when we update their stream, their classwork, you can see that they have the reading assignment and the other student only have the vocabulary. So it's easy to do. Now the next thing is going to be the grading. As a teacher, I go into grade. As a co-teacher, you can easily see which ones are usually going to be your assignments because they may not have been assigned to other students. But you can easily just go to that assignment, open it up, and grade your student work and give them feedback and return. Now one more feature that I would like to talk about that will probably come in handy because there's going to be a, you may be co-teaching in a lot of different classrooms, which means there could be a lot of emails and notifications if students are turning in to work. If you want to disable that so that you can not have that, you can go into your settings. And on the settings you have receive email notifications. You can still have someone and you can make choices and customize the ones that you'd like to use. Or you can just turn them all off, so that you will not get inundated with several emails and you just know to go and check the classroom as needed. But if you do again, you can choose just for, just to get notifications of certain things versus all. All right, so I hope this was helpful for you.
