Google Workspace admins can now turn on “Profile discovery” for their users. When turned on, users can customize how they appear across Google products to people who search for them by their phone number or email. Specifically, you can choose how you want your name to be displayed and how your profile picture will be displayed.
This feature is available in open beta, which means no additional sign-up is required to use the feature.
In the Admin console, under Directory Settings > Profile editing, you can turn “Profile discovery” on or off for your users.
To help people recognize you, we’ll share basic information needed to confirm your identity. After you interact with someone, they’ll typically see your full name, profile picture, and more from your Google Account.

Educators can now turn any YouTube video into an interactive lesson by adding questions for their students to answer throughout the video.
The interactive questions feature turns a passive watching experience into an engaging one, and improves students’ understanding of a subject by providing them with the space to make mistakes, review incorrect answers and assess correct answers at their own pace.
Once students within a class have completed the video activity, educators will have access to a dashboard of key insights based on student engagement levels.

Why you’d use it
While interactive YouTube video assignments will be beneficial to students, it will also help educators identify concepts that need more instruction time, discover students who may need extra support and also shape future lesson plans. Educators are also able to scale individualized support since students will get real-time validation as they answer certain question types in the video activities.
Additional details
You can now use the “Resources” tab in the Classroom left navigation to find and manage all your video activities and
practice sets. Getting started

Following the
expansion of grading systems in Google Classroom, we’re adding an additional feature that gives teachers even more flexibility when it comes to grading for assignments and classwork.
Starting today, teachers can mark an assignment for a particular student as “Excused” instead of giving it a 0-100 score. This will exclude that particular assignment from the student’s overall grade.
We hope this requested feature addresses various class scenarios, such as wanting to drop a student’s lowest assignment, excusing an assignment when a student is absent, or any other circumstance in which an assignment should not be included in a student’s grade.
