Using the "About" section in Google Classroom

Last year was the first year of Google Classroom.   We started with it in mid-September, worked through the personal glitches (ie. mistakes I made), and came up with questions and thoughts on how to improve it.

As I worked through it, one thing I really wanted was a section where I could keep important links, or documents (like organizers) that the class would use frequently.   In talking and tweeting with my PLN (personal learning network), I realized that the ABOUT section was ideal for this.  Check my screen capture below for tips on how to use it.

After you have opened Google Classroom, follow the instructions and start posting links and documents from your DRIVE that students will access and use.  Make sure they have VIEW ONLY and understand how to make their own copy.
