I use Google Classroom for a variety of reasons. The most important use is for posting classroom assignments. Though most assignments will be handed in as hard copies, I will post assignments and directions on Google Classroom. If a student is sick or absent, he/she will be responsible for checking Google Classroom and then handing in any missing assignments in a timely manner. 

If you have any questions on how Google Classroom works, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
