![]() You still have to have a slide deck that’s ready to go, but the process is much smoother for you. Now, with the Add-On, you assign directly from classroom. Last year, if I wanted to assign a Pear Deck assignment for my students to complete on their own time, I typically opened the slide deck, click the Pear Deck Add-On, started a student-paced activity, then clicked the share to Google Classroom link in the pop up menu. The behavior with Pear Deck is similar, but I’m extra excited about this one. ![]() For the most part, nothing new is happening here – Kahoot works the same and Google Classroom works the same, but now you can assign a Kahoot from within Classroom, without going to Kahoot in a separate tab, and the students just click that link and Kahoot pops up. ⬇️ Let’s take a peek at a few of these.įirst up, let’s look at Kahoot. Plus, more of them now sync like Edpuzzle has for a while. So, you can enter grades into Classroom while looking at the actual tool. Now you can access many of those tools with that trademark grading sidebar right there. On the teacher end, assigning things is streamlined, but the real bonus is the grading piece.While some tools – like Edpuzzle – have long synced grades into Classroom others – like Pear Deck – have not. The less jumping around we make our students do, the better. On the student end, this is nice because these tools become easy, one-click logins from within Google Classroom. Those tools include Edpuzzle, Kahoot!, PBS Learning Media, Google Play Books, Sora, Newsela, Safari Montage, Google Arts and Culture, IXL, cK-12, BookWidgets, Adobe Express, WeVideo, Formative, Pear Deck, Nearpod, Wordwall, and Genially. ⬇️ Google has partnered with 18 different tools to make it easier to assign stuff from their tools within Classroom. While those users cry in their Cheerios, I’ll talk to those of you who are in those special accounts about what you’re getting. Don’t cry too much – you can still use all of these tools, just without the added convenience of the Classroom Add-Ons. If you’re in the free Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals or the lowest paid version, called Education Standard, you won’t have these Add-Ons. Now, before I go too far, I want to point out – these are only for educators on the Google Workspace for Education Plus edition or the Teaching & Learning Upgrade. ![]()
