Google has announced new updates for Chromebooks, Google Classroom and Google Meet to help teachers and students. Google claims that these updates will help teachers and students focus on interconnectivity, control and efficiency in the classroom to GoogleMeet. The company is hosting an event for Google for Education’s product launch, The Anywhere School 2022, where it will reveal more details.
New features coming for Chromebooks
Users will now be able to use Chromebooks to create screencasts and cast them to a big screen. A new Screencast app has been added to the Chrome OS in M103, which can be used to record, trim, share and view transcribed screencasts — and create a custom library of videos automatically saved in Google Drive.
Some select devices with Google TV will also get the new Cast moderator mode that enables both teachers and students to wirelessly share their Chromebook screen to a class display using an access code.
New features coming to Google Classroom
Google is rolling out new integration tools to help teachers improve engagement in the class and regularly check for understanding. Practice sets help in adaptive learning by offering students instant feedback on their answers and real-time support if they get stuck. This tool also provides automated insights for teachers to identify potential gaps in students’ understanding. Practice sets are now globally available in beta and English. They are available only to customers on Google Workspace for Education with Education Plus or the Teaching and Learning editions.
Google will also allow students and teachers to access more than 15 EdTech tools with add-ons, like Kahoot! and Pear Deck with a single login. This, the company claims, will help teachers to create engaging assignments and see new grading experiences, while students don’t have to worry about remembering extra passwords and navigating external websites. These add-ons will be available with the Education Plus or Teaching and Learning Edition.
Moreover, the company is also expanding its roster import feature in Google Workspace for Education Plus to an additional 15 countries. This feature will allow class lists to automatically sync with student information systems.
New features coming to Google Meet
Google is also adding features to Google Meet that are expected to increase interconnectivity, control and efficiency in the classroom. These new features too will be available for Google Workspace for Education Teaching & Learning and Plus edition users. Google Meet will now allow Docs to directly auto-transcribe calls for easy lesson reviews and the ability to search for keywords and concepts. The company is also adding a Picture-in-Picture mode for its calling service where users will be able to navigate other tabs in Chrome while viewing four tiles of students in a Meet call. Teachers will be able to add polls and Q&A to Live-streams along with live streaming them directly on YouTube to keep their classes engaged and can also help them regularly check the students for understanding.
