In response to the need for adult educators to find new ways to work with students from a distance while programs are temporarily closed, the SABES Program Support PD Center (Digital Literacy) is offering a series of PD events to help you provide instruction online using the free platform, Google Classroom. In this session (a follow-up to the introductory Google Classroom session), you will explore additional Google Classroom tools to support students; plan and assign lessons and activities; and track student activity and progress.
Please Note: This is Part 2 of a two-part series. For more information on Part 1 and to register, go to https://www.sabes.org/event/18866. You are not required to register for both sessions; however if you have not already attended one of the prior Google Classroom webinars and are not familiar with Google Classroom, we suggest you register for and attend Part 1 first.
In addition to this webinar, our presenter will be available to work with you individually and respond to questions you might have following the webinar as you begin to onboard staff and students.

We will also share some other tools that you might want to consider using.
We want to remind you that Google Classroom offers a good option for increasing access and intensity, whether or not your program needs to temporarily close. This tool is enthusiastically used by many teachers for reasons that include:
- It saves time! It simplifies the way teachers can create and give assignments, provide feedback, and support to students.
- It keeps student materials organized in one place -- no more lost papers!
- It allows students to review class materials outside of class time, and catch up if they miss class.
- It supports students in building digital literacy skills to prepare them for online learning, self-study, and higher education or training.
- Prepare to use Google Classroom to teach students at a distance
