Google Classroom is trying to make your life easier! They now feature add-ons for many popular applications! Check out this video from Google about add-ons:
So, what exactly does this mean? If you use any of the applications listed below on a regular basis with your students, you can now easily create an assignment or material post in Google Classroom without having to open a new tab, navigate to the application, and then set it up to use in Classroom. It is now all integrated with Google Classroom! Here are the applications that are available -- the ones that are underlined are already "allowed"; others would need to be enabled.
- Kahoot
- Pear Deck
- Edpuzzle
- Adobe Express
- Google Arts & Culture
- Nearpod
- Newsela
- Sora
- Formative
- Genially
- WeVideo
- IXL
- Wordwall
- CK-12
- BookWidgets
- PBS LearningMedia
- Google Play Books
- Safari Montage
If you want one the applications listed to be made available as an add-on in Google Classroom, simply send me an email!
One important note: The add-ons feature only works if you are using an upgraded version of Google Workspace! The district has 65 upgraded licenses with 15 currently available.
Finally, here's one more really great video that walks you through how to use these Google Classroom add-ons, and here's a slide deck, too. Of course, I am always happy to come work with you or your team personally -- I'm just an email or phone call away!
