Features
Share resources with your students
-
During a session, teachers can keep students on task by sharing resources to students' ChromeOS devices. Resources might include websites and Google Classroom assignments.
-
By focusing students on shared resources, teachers can help them stay on task and avoid distractions by preventing them from navigating away from the presented material.
Live captions and translations
-
Teachers can use real-time translatable captions to help language learners and students with hearing impairments.
-
The teacher's ChromeOS device microphone captures audio. Then, the transcript can be seen on teacher or student devices, or both.
Screen sharing
-
During a session, teachers can remotely view students’ screens to check their progress.
-
Teachers can enhance classroom engagement by wirelessly mirroring their own or a student’s screen to a classroom display. They can highlight or draw directly on shared content, allowing the entire class to view the live annotations on the classroom display as they happen.
