To help teachers and students find assignments quickly, we added topic filters to the Classwork page. We also changed how Classwork posts new items and topics to the top instead of the bottom (newly created courses only), so that students can see the newest information first. In order to make Classroom accessible to all students, we’re also changing the way attachments appear in assignments by bringing back thumbnails-so all attachments now have an image preview. This is especially useful for students who aren’t yet reading.

ISTE 2019 Teaching Theatre Sign-ups
The Google for Education team is looking forward to seeing you at ISTE 2019! This year we're doing things a bit differently by allowing attendees to pre-register for all sessions in our Teaching Theatre (Room #123) . Keep a close eye on Twitter and for communications on all updates from ISTE. If you miss pre-registering, don't worry, there will still be room for walk-ins!
