Introducing Student Groups in Google Classroom

What’s changing 

We’re excited to introduce a new feature in Google Classroom that enables teachers to create groups of students to make assigning differentiated content easier. This update will allow them to quickly assign classwork to pre-defined sets of students without having to tediously select individual students. 
Now, teachers can differentiate content across sub-sections of their class based on their students’ needs. For example, teachers can create groups based on reading levels and as their class adapts, they can edit members of a group or delete groups within their class.
