What’s changing Previously, curriculum leaders and educators had to add
permanent co-teachers in order to share or distribute curricula. This could result in access issues, unnecessary notifications and homepage clutter.
To improve this experience, we’re excited to announce a Google Classroom beta that will simplify lesson planning with others and make classroom materials more accessible. Through the beta, curriculum leads and
verified teachers can share links to high-quality classes and class templates so other educators in their organization can preview and import classwork to an existing class or to a new class. This will provide educators with ideas for instructional design and enable them stay up-to-date with the best materials.
This beta will be globally available for Google Workspace for Education Plus customers in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese. Google Workspace admins can
use this sign-up form to apply for the beta from now until September 1, 2023.
