Are you a Google Classroom educator/school/district? If so, your life just got a lot simpler. Now, you can easily share Britannica School articles, videos, and images directly to your Google Classroom! This step-by-step video, Britannica Digital Learning and Google Classroom<https://vimeo.com/259944689>, will get you on the path to sharing Britannica's trusted and reliable content in no time. When sharing content to a Google Classroom, there is one additional step you need to take here in Michigan so that students will not get a login screen. Because we use geo-location, you must instruct Google Classroom students to first open any level of Britannica School, and then click on the link of the shared content.
