It's a Sunday evening and I'm sitting down to grade some assignments in the Google Classroom (more on my music assignments later), and I am thinking about how thankful I am of one of Google's latest features (as of the August 2018 update) in the Google Classroom, "Topics".
I have used Google Classroom for many years now as my primary source for class announcements, supplemental materials and videos, and most importantly, the aggregation in one place of all of the assignments I assign to my students. Google has made the organization of this information so much easier with the restructuring of the "Stream" and "Classwork" tabs.
Within Classwork, you now can organize your assignments and materials by Topics you create. You can even use a topic as a one stop shop for important links to websites used often in your class. I use the topic feature all the time to organize my assignments and materials. I've detailed step by step how to accomplish this in the Google Classroom to help you organize your class!
How to organize materials into Topics:
*Note before you get started, your class must have been created after the August 2018 Google Classroom update for this feature to appear. The topics feature in the classwork tab will not appear for classes created before August 2018.
1. Log into your School's classroom.google.com account.
2. Select the class you would like to organize using topics.

1. Log into your School's classroom.google.com account.
2. Select the class you would like to organize using topics.
3. Navigate to the "Classwork" tab at the top.
4. Click the "+ CREATE" button at the top left of the Classwork page to add a topic. Select TOPIC.
5. Type a topic title in the text box and click "ADD" to create the topic.
6. Now you can add Assignments, quiz assignments, questions, materials, or reuse a post under your new topic. Select the "+CREATE" button in the upper left again to add something to your topic. I've created a new material (in my case I'm adding a link to an audio recording for reference).
7. Create the material (or assignment) and select the topic you created. I've added a link to an audio recording I want my students to be able to use as reference multiple times, so I've created a "Material" and already attached the link (more on this in a future post). You can create an assignment here or whatever you'd like! Be sure to select the topic you just created and click the blue POST button when finished.
8. Your material (or whatever you placed in your Topic) will now appear in the student's Stream as well as under Classwork in a brand new organized way. Happy organizing!

ReplyDeleteI have a class of about 20 students, and keeping track of all the assignments, resources, and discussions can get difficult. However, your article helped me see how organizing them into topics could make navigating the class easier for my students and me. Dissertation Help Online
