What is Google Classroom? Google worked with educators across the country to create Classroom. It is a
streamlined, easy-to-use tool that helps teachers manage coursework. With
Classroom educators can create classes, distribute assignments, grade and send
feedback, and see everything in one place. Why use Google Classroom in PE?
Unlike a typical classroom, a physical education class faces different adversaries
when trying to implement desk-top work. Bigger class sizes, various weather
conditions, and no desktop seating should not deter you from implementing
assignments to enhance student learning. Google Classroom provides flexibility and
offers you a platform with everything your non-traditional class may need!

grades it for you and gives you an instant score!
This data collection form can be very beneficial for your physical education class. Students can log their
fitness scores and you can instantly sort by category. You can also color code scores to identify students
that are not meeting the standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I link my Google Classroom to Aeries? o Not YET – Currently some teachers in the district are piloting a Google
Classroom to Aeries gradebook. You may see the option available, but it is
not accessible for all users at this time.
When I go to Google Classroom, I only have the “Join class” option and
do not have a “Create Class”. o Send in a HelpDesk ticket – You currently do not have access and your
site IT will be able to fix this problem for you.
Between Google Classroom and Canvas, which is the best platform to
use?
o This is just a personal preference – The benefit of Google Classroom is
that all your documents are in one space (e.g. Slides, Documents, Forms,
Photos). It is also user friendly and easily accessible for your students on
Chromebooks.
Tips Google From: Creating Copies
o If you provide the same Form link to all your classes, all responses will merge into
one document (You may end up with 200+ responses!). If you want to split up
responses per class period, make sure to make a copy of the form for each of your
classes.
o Making Folders and differentiating your Classrooms per period will help you be
organized.
Google Forms: Free Response Questions
