Google has released iOS and Android apps to accompany its Google Classroom web platform. Right from the assignment page in the mobile app, students can snap a photo and attach it to their assignment. Students can also easily attach images, PDFs and web pages from other apps on their phone or iPad to their assignments.
Google Classroom has also launched a new teacher assignments page, with quick access to any assignment, track reviewed ones and see how many students have completed assignments.
Lastly, classes can now be archived, so that classes that are no longer active can be taken off the home page and make it read-only. Free to download, the Google Classroom apps are available for anyone with a Google App for Education account.
