Google has announced a lot of new features for Google Meet and Google Classroom aimed at improving the experience for participants, students, teachers and hosts. These include a new offline mode for the Classroom app, improved grading capabilities, the ability to have more than one host and more.
Google Classroom, a tool designed to conduct online-education, will be receiving a lot of new tools and features that will help teachers and educators better manage their classrooms. Classroom will soon support the ability to integrate third-party EdTech tools and content directly into the Classroom interface, and mobile grading will be improved to let teachers switch between student submissions, grade work while viewing an assignment, and share feedback.
Students will have access to an offline mode in the Classroom Android app, where they can start work, review their assignments, and write assignments in Google docs.
Google Meet will finally be adding the ability to have more than one host per meeting, and each host will have full access to moderation tools. An option to End-the-meeting for all will be added soon, along with the ability for teachers to mute all the participants in the session, allowing them to teach without interruption.
These new features will be arriving to Google Meet and Google Classrooms over the next few months. To check out all the features that are coming to Google Classroom, click here; for Google Meet, click here.
