Google Classroom: 3 Books in 1 – The 2020 Quick-Start Guide to Online Teaching. Learn How to Setup a Solid Digital Course, Manage Distance Learning & Boost Students Engagement

Setting up an online class involves more than opening a platform: teachers also need a workable course structure, clear assignments, and ways to keep students connected. Emma Bradley’s 2020 Google Classroom guide brings those practical concerns together in a three-part introduction to digital course management and online teaching.

Start with the classroom workflow

The guide walks through the core areas of Google Classroom, including Stream, Classwork, People, and Grades. It covers course setup and personalization, creating assignments, and the student’s side of accessing a class and completing homework. The step-by-step emphasis makes the platform’s basic organization the starting point rather than an afterthought.

Make distance learning more interactive

Beyond the essentials, the contents explore Google Meet and video lessons, classroom integrations, add-ons, and gamification. Topics such as following student progress and using interactive activities connect the tools to the larger task of planning and managing learning online.

Teaching is still about communication

Bradley also devotes attention to the human side of digital instruction: communicating effectively, giving and managing feedback, involving students, and creating a sense of community. These sections broaden the book’s focus from navigating software to considering how teachers can support participation in a remote classroom.

For educators exploring online teaching

This edition may suit teachers looking for an introductory overview of Google Classroom and distance-learning practices, including course setup, assignments, and student communication. It was published in 2020, so platform screens and feature descriptions may no longer match today’s tools; check current documentation before relying on interface-specific instructions.
