Your times do not match what she does in the video. The video is around 19 minutes long and yours go to 9 minutes.

[@nancymicklatcher117]

This looks like the topics for her Getting Started video.

[@veronicaash3362]

You are a lifesaver! I started using Google Classroom this year and received very little district training. Your tips and tricks will make my life easier, especially now that we are doing Distance Learning. I'm so glad I found you. Thank you!

[@pattifloyd4176]

Your tutorials have saved my life. 30+ years (K-6th) and didn't really use a lot of technology until March 2020. This year we are hybrid and using Google Classroom has pretty much changed the way I teach. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@jedpalmer1144]

Bring back classroom weekly vlogs please!! Love you michelle

[@amhym1932]

Separate class for early finishers! OOOOOOOHHHHHH yeaaaaaaah! I like that idea. I teach 5 sections of middle school science and I am thinking about a separate class for self-paced projects and collaboration. I typically create a different GC for each section and will continue to do that... However, a separate class with ALL of my students will allow students who are not in the same section to collaborate on projects of their interest! I'm so glad I stuck around until the end of this video. This is a game changer!

[@Diane4mail]

My district is using three of your videos as an introduction to using Google classroom. I clicked on their links, and there you were! I have been watching you for a couple of years. Thank you!

[@tamelafidyk781]

You are AWESOME!!! Love all your VERY helpful tutorials and will share with all my colleagues. I teach elementary instrumental music (BAND) in Maryland. I was feeling quite overwhelmed, as many of us are now that we are on-line teaching during COVID shutdown, but your videos are positive, upbeat, and get right to the point. We all have SO much on our plate and are trying to quickly roll things out and set up our students for a great classroom experience. Now that I feel empowered through your videos dealing with the platform, I can spend more time actually planning and researching my curriculum and music specific goals...you are a LIFESAVER!!!

[@kebers]

You are a great teacher! I’m getting ready to homeschool my son and just discovered Google Classroom. Your videos are helping me learn how to set up and use it for just me and my son. I was overwhelmed by how to organize and communicate all this work for all his classes and assignments between my son and myself. Now I’m not nervous, but instead really excited. I think this is going to be a GREAT semester. Thank you!

[@shermone09]

Thank you so much for all your google classroom information. I start a new job using google classroom Monday and I feel more than ready from watching your videos.

[@carolinekelly3415]

Thank you for sharing your teaching expertise. You are appreciated.

[@ShellyMuegge]

I'm so used to Microsoft. Your videos are helping me learn to use Google in my classroom. Thank you!

[@2348523]

I never thought of putting early finishers activities in google classroom. Thanks for the tips and tricks!!

[@r0uzz4]

Similar to your "Early Finishers" class, I have an "If you're done..." topic in the same classroom, so I don't lose students in the process of going from one google class to another. They just go to that section (same concept, different way to do it) Thank s a lot for those tutorials- they're great!

[@pmunoz0127]

I am so grateful I found your channel! I’m a high school Secretary & I do the payroll 125 teachers & 50 classified staff. I wanted to make a Google Classroom to keep my payroll & teacher payroll for monthly Extra Duty/Stipend organization. Appreciate any tips you have for me. Thank you 🤓💕

[@DeyquanBowens]

I’m in the process of creating an online music course for piano via classroom and you have been a great help! Thank you so much!

[@kelliterbush7925]

OMG!! Where have you been all my life?? I LOVE watching your videos!! You are so easy to follow and understand!!! 💜

[@SpencerSoyemi]

Thanks so much for helping me in setting up my proposal for online learning in African Schools. I appreciate this!

[@maythao3977]

Michelle, I am new to Google classroom, so really appreciate all your tips. You made everything seem possible. I really appreciate your time to teach the rest of us. I love all of your videos and will watch them all, if I can! Keep up the good work! With appreciation, Mrs. Thao

[@michellesilvia3167]

I like the pace of your videos and the extra tips for success. Thanks

[@sewingstoryprojects6178]

Michelle, this was such a great video....detailed, clear and oh so helpful! I shared it on my FB page for my teacher friends!!!

[@nanceefrench1880]

really great tip on copying an archived class and the Early finishers class

[@kristiadkins8780]

This is one of the most helpful videos I have watched in a LONG time! This is at least my third video by Pocketful Of Primary and I am hooked!!!! So appreciative!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!!

[@markloughridge420]

Tip #3 was a complete game changer for my COVID-19 e-learning families. It made everything easier to follow for even the tech challenged families. Thanks!

[@monroe.Kristin]

Keep these coming please! So helpful for those of us new to google classroom. I love the idea for early finishers, will be creating that class ASAP.

[@cristywellik5010]

Thank your for these videos on Google Classroom. I am just now learning and implementing this platform through virtual/remote learning. Your videos have been so helpful!

[@krishnapriyashirke9282]

Thank you for a very informative topics hope in the future we can use this in our online teaching.

[@russellpalatiere8852]

Love this video Michelle!! I’ve already shared it on my Facebook feed for all my teacher friends!! You nailed everything as always!! You have the “attention to detail” that all teachers should have!! Your tips are efficient and make total sense. You think of things that most of us wouldn’t even come up with!!

[@supernarl]

Copying an archive class is the BOMB!!! Thank you very much. ♥

[@keithrichardson9257]

Thank you so much.. Been using Classroom for two years and just found out something new about the reuse button.. AWSOME!!!!!!

[@devonboyd4092]

Thanks for always having very informative videos! I really appreciate the free Classroom Header Template too. 🙌

[@staninjapan07]

Although I cannot use this for the purposes you do as I do not set assignments, it was very useful as a general tutorial on working towards creating a framework into which I can add activities for my students. I think your videos on how to use the Google Doc apps for teaching are closer to what I need, thanks.

[@lindaschiano7528]

I really enjoy your videos. I learn a lot. You present the information very clearly. Thank you

[@leilarivera9721]

These are so helpful. This will be my first year with paperless. Wish me luck!! Thanks Michelle, Good luck this upcoming school year !!!

[@marcmucci6687]

Thank you . I teach basic skills math and language arts in NJ, and will be entering the classroom teacher's google classroom to help the students that are struggling in grades 3-8 during our state lock down. This has been very helpful.

[@jessicadenning2795]

Thanks for the video!! I personally knew most of this, but had no idea you could copy a class. That will come in handy in January when I get all new students (we are on a 4x4 block schedule in high school). I am so happy you made this video so I can share this with my less tech savvy colleagues rather than help them each and every time. Thank you!

[@민효민-m5u]

wow!!! Thanks for such a detailed and accurate explanation! Pretty sure that your students feel really grateful for you.

[@shawnaturner100]

I'm so thankful for this video! It answered questions that I have and questions I didn't know I had!

[@ever8779]

Awesome! Thank you for all that you share with us. Can you do a video on creating a drag and drop slide? I’m a kindergarten teacher in NYC. This is my first time using google classroom and I’m interested in creating slides for my students that are interactive.

[@thymelygrace]

You are an excellent teacher! Thanks for such wonderful, informative, easy to follow material. Very HELPFUL!

[@reemachahal5193]

Thank you for these awesome videos!! Can you make a video on how we can use a PDF worksheet to be written and typed on?

[@rhondaratterman6978]

Thank You so much!!! We are going online since the virus. I was apprehensive about using Google Classroom. You have been so helpful, much better than the lady we had come to our school! Thank You!!!!

[@emilyray8314]

I love watching your videos because I’m going to be in 10th grade this school year and I really want to be a teacher and I really think this videos help me to see what to expect when being a teacher.

[@mariaceciliaespinosamidon5468]

I love your videos, they are super clear and to the point. I have learnt a lot! Thanks!

[@caseyhankshaughenbury1508]

THANK YOU for EDTech Made Easy. LOVE everything about your tutorials (e.g., the content, style, your professionalism,)!

[@ashlynnpate5563]

Loving these!!! I'm working on my teaching degree and your videos are my pick me up when I get discouraged! I can't wait to see how your classroom will come together this year

[@joel9909]

Here for the knowledge and the smile :)

[@curiosophy4241]

Thank you! Very very helpful to old teachers who are trying to catch up with tech. :)

[@myralucas3777]

YOU ARE SUPER AMAZING. LOVE all your videos. ...very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@alysonserenastone2917]

Can you do a video on your favourite educational apps for students? I have a list of them, but I'm always curious to see what other teachers are using. :)

[@Chavez.E]

I heard theres one called pictoral, or something similiar, that scans a QR code to assigned students in the classroom. Depending if they hold the square and turn it will determine the letters a,b,c,d to choose an answer that you post on the board. You need only scan with your phone, the entire class holding up their cards, and it grades instantly!

[@jxdestxne881]

Math prodigy for SURE

[@alysonserenastone2917]

@@jxdestxne881 I completely agree. It's a sneaky way to get kids into math.

Google classroom is life! ☺☺☺

[@kimstevens6273]

This was very helpful. Thanks

[@alinamartinezvazquez4009]

Thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful. Because of Covid-19 we are going to begin using Google Classroom as of April the 20th so I am using my holidays to learn as much as I can. Thank you very much for your time :)

[@heatherchaney7279]

This video has been incredibly helpful to learn some of those less basic features like comment bank and navigation. Thank you!!!!!

[@laxventurechica]

Shared this with my graduate school science education class. Thank you!

[@jennifertejera8331]

Can you please make a video on how to make sure that Google slides docs etc don't come up as a binary file. Thank you. Love your channel.

[@ThatNewTeacher]

How did I not know about the comment bank?! THANK YOU!

[@leeannechampion2568]

THANK-YOU!!!!!! How to add comments in Google Slides by right-clicking!!!! AND, the "add to comment bank" shortcut!

[@caelanhogan7435]

cool

[@singam92]

I like your video, the way you give the presentation it was clear cut and this was my new experience to use Google class. And I thank for the post you made.

[@yasnayaroman4530]

Thank you so much for creating these informative videos.

[@whittredgea]

Had a lot of fun changing my themes for each class. Thanks for making this easy! I bet you are an awesome 4th grade teacher!

How cute are you and that megawatt smile! Thanks for the great tips, you make it look so easy. I'm looking forward to making these new technologies work for me.

[@marciadaley5963]

This is so helpful! THANK YOU!!!

[@shawngrutsch2282]

Thanks for making this. I am diving into Google Classroom for the first time from quarantine. I need all the help I can get. Free lesson resources would be greatly appreciated!

[@amywarr4935]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I can't believe how much I didn't know about Google Classroom! This will be so helpful moving forward.

[@alissaalterishea2855]

Thank you so much! You make it sound so easy. What about for younger students who can't read or type yet? I teach first grade and we are just getting started with Google Classroom. Any ideas?

[@marisasalisbury6081]

Hello there! First off, I want to thank you for all your dedication to us! I have relied on you for the past 3 years and I tell EVERYONE about your site! Everytime I need something, I go directly to YOU and I ALWAYS find what I'm looking for. You are truly making a difference. NOW, FOR MY ACTUAL QUESTION... I would lead a self-paced PD on Google Classroom twice now. If I "ARCHIVE" it, then next time I run it "MAKE A COPY" will it have no students? That's what I want. I saw someone else (why did I bother?! LOL) say to "RETURN ALL WORK" I don't really need to contact participants --nor confuse them-by returning any of their work. When I run the PD next, I just want to have the assignments there, and add teachers as they enroll to get started. Thanks again!

[@chantalduford47]

Your tips are amazing!!!! Thank you so much!

[@claudiamckeon3046]

That was awesome! Thanks so much, you showed me a ton and I too am just trying to get this up and running due to remote learning!

[@juliesullivan890]

Loved the video. Very helpful!

[@beatle662]

So useful! Thanks a lot!

[@cynthiagood3330]

Thank you so much! This remote teaching is forcing me to learn a lot of new programs, tools, platforms, etc!

[@yuko6357]

thank you so much for this video from Japan! 😊💖

[@tracypeirson5161]

Hi Michelle, Any chance you could post the notes on how to do these skills? Also, please slow down just a little and enlarge the view of the computer screen if possible. You are amazing. Thank you!

[@emmamcnair5242]

Hi, thanks for these videos! I am interested in resources you put into your early finishers class. Do you share them out? Thanks!

[@nicolettezuydervelt5103]

Your videos and resources are amazing!! Thanks so much ~ can't wait to share them with my teaching buddies!! I couldn't find a link to the Google Classroom header template, would you mind re-posting it or letting me know where I can find it. Thanks a bunch and safe health wishes from Nanaimo, BC, Cdn

[@srisukastrimdhanapi3661]

Mind blowing! Thanks for sharing!

[@ontrada]

Thanks! As always, very well done!

[@lcshelton4135]

I'm so excited I just created my own header..thank you so very much

[@withinwordsWTW]

Lots of great tips! I'm really liking the Early Finishers page. Your slides are so engaging- but I had a hard time understanding why you'd make this a 24 slide assignment that you have to then grade each one individually instead of inserting screenshots of them into a Google Form Quiz and then it would grade it for you? (And import into GC).

[@Wannabecrafting247]

Where did you get your pics? I would love to have some made that look like me. Great video and so super helpful. The timing is PERFECT, right before school starts so I’m focused on school, but not too swamped with school yet.

Hi! This is a very useful Tips for further more teaching for students it helps teaching sector . really wonderful thank you.

[@zsigmondilka1594]

Great video, very helpful! I have a question: if I create a classroom for myself to practice in, and I fill it as I would for a regular class of students, can I then copy it to my school's G-Suite? Thank you, looking forward to the next video!

Thank you!!! I will be organizing all of my files!!!

Dear Miss Michelle You explain very interestingly, you are beautiful and I am very sorry that you were not my teacher. If only I was your student ...... Congratulations best regards

[@lrc1259]

Excellent information, thank you! PS, this is at a good speed compared to your previous lesson.

[@christydonnelly9618]

I thought I was fairly fluent in Google Classroom but WOW! The comment capability is awesome 👏🏼. Will you soon be doing a video on creating your lessons in Google Drive/PowerPoint? Please... 😁 (assignments too) Thanks Michelle for the amazing videos!
