  Google Classroom was one of my favorite things to use this week! I thought it made everything very simple and as always it integrates so easily with other Google products . This makes it so easy to add information into your Google Classroom setup . When setting up my fake Google Classroom one things that makes it simple for me is the ability to be able to organize all material and assignments by unit.  Google Meet is a great place to go when you are hosting a meeting. As you know there are plenty alternatives for this kind of thing but they just cannot compare with this Google product . What sets it apart is the way you are able to invite others. You are easily able to invite other by using their Gmail account. Once accepted it is easily integrated to their calendar so they do not forget.
