    Hi Jordan, I like how you gave a clear and simple explanation of Google Classroom and how it connects to teaching and learning. I agree that it’s a really practical tool, especially with how well it works with other Google apps like Docs and Drive, it makes managing assignments and communication a lot easier. Even if you prefer Canvas, it’s great that you can still see how Google Classroom fits into the TLC framework, especially for assessing and instructing. I think that kind of flexibility is what makes it so popular with teachers.
