For the past two years, my high school social studies students have been telling me that learning with Google Classroom is fun and that I should use it with them. My answer was always, "I don't know how to use Google Classroom." They always told me how much better it would be for them to learn and how they would be so much more motivated to attend class and to complete the work. I got tired of always telling them I just didn't know how to do that.
So, this past summer, motivated by my students' requests that I learn how to make learning better for them, I spent my time learning how to use Google Classroom.
Now, I am creating and posting the work on Google Classroom every day, but we need more Chromebooks so that each student can use one to show their learning. Allowing each student to use a separate Acer Chromebook to complete the Google Classroom activities would make it possible for each student to work at their own pace. In a classroom with diverse learners, this is especially important. It will allow the students who learn by watching historical videos to spend more of their class time doing that, while students who learn more by reading about history can spend their class time doing that.
