Remote Teaching/Learning and Google Classroom

 Due to Covid 19 there are few schools that have students studying on-site or in school. Around the World students are taking classes on-line in Zoom or Google Classroom.

Personally, I believe Google Classroom is a good platform for remote learning. Due to the Breakout feature you can place students in groups where they can work together to produce their own knowledge in project Learning Activities. 

Each remote learning platform has its advantages and disadvantages. These features will be recognized by the teagher over time. Below are some important information you and your students need to know when using Google Classroom.
