+Haiku/Google Classroom

Haiku is an online learning community – basically our classroom online!

It’s a place for the students to access the materials, communicate with me and one another, submit assignments, watch videos, etc. all related to the class content.

Google Classroom is similar in that it is a place to assign, collect, grade, and pass-back work.
