Calendar Integration: A Google Calendar for each class will be created. Assignments with due
dates will automatically be added to the calendar.
Optional Due Dates: Not every assignment needs a due date. Now you can toggle off due date
when creating an assignment. Note that these will now not show in the upcoming assignments
and they will not be added to the class calendar.
Attach a Google Form: Rolling out later is an easier way to attach Google Forms in Google
Classroom. When browsing Google Drive for a Form, Classroom will automatically provide
students with the live view of the Form to allow them to fill it out. A link to the results page will
also be automatically linked in Google Classroom to make it easier for the teacher to view the
results.
