Description
Google Classroom is a basic, free Learning Management System (LMS) teachers use to create, distribute, and grade learning tasks. Many teachers have used Google Classroom for years, and even more began utilizing the platform once distance and hybrid learning became more common due to COVID-19. As a substitute teacher, you may or may not be added to the course with “Teacher” access, so as you review the following resources, note that your role in the classroom may include designing and grading tasks, viewing the course, or simply supporting students as they navigate tasks on their own through the LMS.
