The start of the school year means that it is time to create a new Google Classroom for your students!

All month long I have been providing back-to-school professional development for schools across the country.

During many of these sessions, I have been helping teachers setup Google Classroom for the upcoming school year.

This process has encouraged me to reflect on how I am using Google classroom. Today, I would like to summarize some of the lessons I have learned and how I am using Google Classroom to connect with my students and organize my lessons.
