I distinctively remember constantly getting my little flip taken away in class all the time for playing snake and attempting to text. Now kids are encouraged to bring their phones, tablets and laptops to class as an extension of the learning environment. I for one am rather happy to see it really. Today Google announced that it is releasing Google Classroom service app for both Android and iOS devices. Officially the service has been around since last summer, but only for the Apps for Education customers via a web-based portal. Essentially allowing teachers to plan lessons, handout assignments and working alongside students. With the new apps teachers and students will have access to the same good, plus more, via their phones and tablet through the app.
 
 
Snap a photo: Right from the assignment page in the mobile app, students can snap a photo and attach it to their assignment — whether it’s the experiment they just did for a science class, or a drawing they made of their family tree. And if they’ve forgotten their homework, they can ask someone at home to snap a photo, text it and then turn it in with the app. Of course, if the dog has actually eaten it, Classroom can’t help you.
