Google Classroom: I loved using GC and particularly forms for setting work during lockdown. I am now using it for all homework. So much easier to track and great results analysis. I also stick in a couple of questions at the end asking for kids to rate their understanding... and interest/enjoyment of the topic so far. I put up resources I've used in lessons too. For KS4/5 I'm also recording all of their in class assignments on there with my feedback sheets for them to have access to.
So far the knowledge recall back in lessons is so much better...

Bit annoyed today. I had been doing the register while the kids were working (just visually checking) but I've switched to a more formal start to the lesson this half term (in prep for September). I now do the register in silence for y7/8 and they have to respond good morning 1/ However, a few students are testing the boundaries by being silly and saying something to make the rest of the class laugh so I've had to give out a few (5) detentions across 22 lessons. My HoD and the head of Y7 have been listening to student complaints 2/
