How to enable email notificationsĮmail notifications can be enabled in the web browser version of Google Classroom (on your laptop, Chromebook or desktop computer): I’ll have some suggestions for you below if you take this route.

If you’re a cell phone person - a “notifications on my phone get it done” person - you’ll love device notifications. If you’re an email person - an “if it hits my inbox it gets done” person - email notifications let you respond to students in a couple clicks.

Device notifications will send you a push notification (a little pop-up window at the top of your screen) when there’s activity in Classroom.

Email notifications will send you an email when certain things happen in Classroom.Here’s what you need to know: What type of notification is best?Īs a teacher, you have two types of notifications: email notifications and device notifications. If you know how to use set up and manage these notifications, when you ask them to jump they’ll say “how high?” They let you know when there’s new activity and let you respond to it in seconds, saving you lots of time. Google Classroom gives teachers, students and even parents/guardians these great notifications. What if you could make Google Classroom work for YOU instead? It can feel like you’re doing Google Classroom’s bidding - like it’s this cruel taskmaster that has all of this work for you.

There are student comments to respond to.

There are assignments and announcements that you’ve created.
