With guardian e-mails and Google Calendar, parents of your students will be able to view the Question and Assignment posts within your classes. While implementing either of these features may seem time-consuming to setup, this occurs at the beginning of the year or semester and requires little maintenance throughout the year. Now that you are able to invite parents or guardians to receive e-mail notifications, share the Google Classroom calendars with parents through a URL or a Google Site. Parents are able to actively engage with their student's assignments and assessments. Now that parents can view posts in Google Classroom, where you can manage and grade their assignments, it unifies much of the administration and management aspects of the classroom so that you can focus on teaching. The final chapter will explore subject specific third party apps that can enhance your activities within Google Classroom.
