Remember when you forgot to bring your homework that one time and Mr.
Jones from sixth grade wouldn't believe you didn't just slack off? If
Google's new Classroom app existed back then, you could have just asked
someone at home to take a picture and submit it through the application.
Yup, Google has just released an iOS and an Android Classroom app, and
it does a couple more things other than giving you the option to take
pictures of your (or your kids') assignments to submit. When installed
on a phone, it comes up along with the list of apps you can share with
from within another program. You can, for instance, upload drawings or
PDFs from within an art app or Google Drive. It also caches its contents
upon launch, so teaches can access a student's work even offline.
Other than the new mobile app, Classroom for desktop
now shows teachers a list of assignments, giving them a clear view of
what they've already reviewed and what they've yet to look at. Even the
most competent educator can get overwhelmed by years of
student-submitted work, though, so teachers can now archive past classes
in the program if they want.
