Collaborate in Classroom

     Google Classroom announced a slew of updates that should make collaboration and management much easier and streamlined for teachers. One feature that was sorely missing in Classroom was the ability to assign multiple teachers to a class. Today's update now allows teachers to assign other "admin" teachers to their classes, meaning they have all editing rights except for the ability to delete the class. To invite another collaborator to your class follow these steps:


     Classroom also picked up a trick from Gmail as it will now automatically save drafts of announcements and assignments if you close out of the program. You can prep materials for your students without publishing it by using the new "draft" feature. 

     By combining both new features multiple teachers in a class can collaborate to prep assignments and announcements before assigning it to their students.
