You'll be able to view your calendar from within Classroom or on Google Calendar, where you can manually add class events like field trips or guest speakers." 4.

Due dates optional Project-based learning, Self-directed learning? Maker ed? If you use long-term projects or other due-date-less assignments, you can now create assignments without due dates in Google Classroom. 6. Attach a Google Form to a post If you're a fan of Google Forms (here's a post on using Google Forms to create a self-graded exam), this is a change you'll appreciate. Phan explains, "Many teachers have been using Google Forms as an easy way to assign a test, quiz or survey to the class. Coming in the next few weeks, teachers and students will soon be able to
