G Suite for Education Tips:
  • Schools can set up student accounts and turn off the Gmail app for students. This is advisable instead of asking parents to set up Gmail accounts. Parental consent should be gained in advance.
  • The Add to Google Classroom Chrome Extension will allow you to quickly share from your web browser to Google Classroom to share links etc or assignment templates. This is a handy way to share safe sources of information such as a webpage from DK Find Out. Add to Google Classroom Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/.../oaobmlmjmhedmlphfdmdjpppjmc...
  • Jamboard is a free tool within G Suite that your administrator can enable on the Admin Console. It is very similar to Padlet but students will be able to log in using their G Suite login and can use it for mindmapping, brainstorming, as a KWL etc. Students can also share their Jam with their classmates and collaborate on the same one. Students can add sticky notes, text boxes, images and more.
  • Google Classroom Comment Bank tutorial from PDST: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R_6JzHp6JZg
  • GEG Ireland is a Google Educator Group who share examples of good practice. You will find them at www.geg.ie or on Twitter @GegIreland
  • Any work completed within Google Classroom automatically gets saved in a folder called Classroom in the student’s Google Drive. They can access this by clicking on the waffle (9 dots/squares in the top right corner).
  • The Save to Google Drive Chrome extension allows you to quickly add a screenshot of the page you are on to your Google Drive. https://chrome.google.com/.../gmbmikajjgmnabiglmofipeabad...
  • You can make self grading assessments in Google Classroom through Forms.
  • There are shortcuts that you can type into your browser to quickly create new files:
Docs http://doc.new
Calendar http://cal.new
Slides http://slide.new
Forms http://Keep.new
Notes http://keep.new
Google Classroom tutorials: https://m.youtube.com/playlist...
  • You can turn on Guardian Summaries in the admin console. Once set up, parents/guardians will receive an overview of what the child has and has not submitted that week.
​
  • When students are leaving the school, they can transfer their G Suite for Educatio data to another account using Google Takeout.
