Explanation:
A teacher can leverage Google Classroom to open communication pathways with guardians in the following ways:
Invite a guardian to receive email summaries about their student’s work in class: Google Classroom allows teachers to invite guardians to receive regular email summaries about their student’s work and class activities. These summaries include information about missing work, upcoming assignments, and class activity.
Use Gmail to send an email to all guardians to see if they’d like to receive weekly updates: Teachers can use Gmail, which is integrated with Google Classroom, to communicate directly with guardians. They can send updates, reminders, or ask if guardians would like to receive weekly updates.
Use a Google Forms to collect feedback on what information guardians would like to receive: Google Forms can be used to gather feedback from guardians about the type of information they would like to receive. This can help tailor communication to meet the needs of each guardian.
Please note that while Google Groups or Chat can be used for communication, they are not directly integrated with Google Classroom and may not provide the same level of detail or convenience as the options listed above. It’s always important to use the tool that best fits the needs of your communication strategy.
