Link directly to Google Classroom Assignments and Question Activities


One of several new features in Google Classroom is the ability to link Google Classroom announcements, assignments, or question activities directly into a presentation, doc, HyperDoc activity, or any other media that can include web links.
Why use this in your instructional practice?
  • Efficient, saves time!
  • Less clicking!
  • No scrolling or filtering to find the activity in Google Classroom!
  • Post a Google Classroom assignment link in a Synergy grade book assignment! (helps students to find the assignment easily).
How does this enhance teaching and learning?
