Free Music Resources for Schools

I took a lengthy look at both tools and put together this step-by-step guide/article that I hope will help teachers tie together three great Google student assessment and management tools: Google Classroom, Goobric (a Google online rubric) and student assignment submissions (linked through Doctopus) all in one place.  Here is the article:   ift.tt/1QVW54z   http:// fb.me/7DQ2ITOYU
