What does it look like to lead a course using Google Classroom? So far I have been a student in one course, meaning I have some experience with the platform, but to use it as a teacher does require some practice as well.

For fun, I started a fake course of my own:

Starting a Course

Turns out you need to sign a release to do so, since an actual school system requires additional security:

At least there is additional security

I designed this one to fit the needs of memory techniques:

A memory course

For my first assignment, I decided to make a brief memory quiz:

Each question has a variety of options, ranging from multiple choice to short answer. To test it out, I invited a colleague to practice the digits of pi by sending him the Google Classroom course code:

What is strange, however, is that his attempt does not register. I witnessed him complete the quiz, so the fact that nothing appears is concerning. To see what happened, I tested it myself:

My quiz attempt

Despite completing the quiz, I was unable to find this submission either. For some reason the files do not appear after the quiz is completed. I will have to test the platform out some more to work this out!
