TeacherMade fits your classroom: Using Google Classroom Apps

Processes work more effortlessly when an app integrates to your LMS platform, like Google Classroom. Apps that work with Google Classroom allow data to move freely between both systems so that tasks are automated. This leads to more integrated data. But the bottom line is: it’s just easier when apps integrate into Google Classroom.

Why should you pick apps that integrate with your LMS platform?

It simplifies assignments and assessments in your classroom when apps sync up to Google Classroom.

It’s simple for you.

Let’s paint a picture. It’s Sunday night, and you’re planning for your week. You have 12 different tabs open on your browser, and your computer is running slow. You finally get all of your online activities built. You just need to make sure you write detailed instructions so your students can switch between each app to get every part of the assignment done. When your students start this assignment later, they will have many questions: forgotten logins for multiple websites, ending up in different places, and general frustration.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can direct your students to just open Google Classroom. That’s the only direction.

From there, integrated apps make it intuitive for them to get started and complete assignments effortlessly. The assignments and digital worksheets come back to you, and many offer the functionality of being auto-graded and can go straight into your grading program.

It’s easy for your students.

Your students won’t get frustrated when they switch between apps. You won’t lose them in the transition. Your students will only notice that they were able to complete an assignment, and they will be confident that they submitted it correctly.
