Collaboration on Google Classroom
One thing that Google Classroom is amazing at is Collaboration. 

We can use it as teachers to:
  • Connect with trusted colleagues
  • Collaborate with your department using one shared Google Classroom or Copy Google Classrooms for Year groups
  • Collaborate with Whole school to share good practice  as a school community.
  • Collaborate with other schools

I have found this extraordinary to share resources and ideas and I know it has helped boost grades and helped my own practice.

To create a Collaborative Classroom 
  • Set up a new Classroom
  • Work out the Topics you want and set up the structure 
  • Go to People 
  • Got to the Teachers section (Make sure it is teachers and not students)
  • Go to the Add Person symbol
  • Write in the full @c2ken.net email for the teachers you want to invite
  • They will accept the invitation
  • This will give them the possibility of being able to contribute their own material and posts.

ADDING TEACHERS : Use the People and go to the Person + symbol

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE REUSE POST BUTTON!

The Reuse post button is brilliant. It allows you to find an assignment or material you have created and allows you to repost the whole assignment/ Post in another Google Classroom. 

This is really useful as you can share your effective work with others in another Google Classroom
​
FOR EXAMPLE: In History Mr Mulholland may have produced a very effective Lockdown assignment. Instead of keeping this to himself he can share it to the departmental Google Classroom. All we have to do as teachers is Reuse the post this to our own Google Classrooms and change what we want. This is a great way to share good practice and to help each other out

On a wider level we use this to repost work and material between schools. This shares good practice and inspire ideas and boosts classroom results as well as cutting down time and energy.

HOW TO COPY A GOOGLE CLASSROOM?

Why would you want to copy a Google Classroom? Well if you wanted to create a fantastic Classroom for a whole year group you can do one and simply replicate them for each of your classes. 
As a Head of Department you can replicate them for each class and then delegate them over to the teacher for them to make their own.
