Share to Google Classroom

If you are using Google Chrome on a District computer, some of you might have noticed the little green Google Classroom icon in the upper right corner of your browsers and in the browsers of our student computers.












Clicking this icon allows you to push a website out to all of the students enrolled in your Google Classroom. Once students are logged into Google Chrome (this happens when they log into the browser when they first open it up), all that you need to do is navigate to the site that you want to share with the class, click the button, chose the class, and click Push. A new browser window will then pop open on all of the student computers and automatically navigate to that site.

It works like a charm (sometimes). In my experience, using this feature with Chromebooks is great. Using it with laptops seems spotty.
