Teachers can organize the class stream by adding topics to posts.

Teachers and students can filter the stream by topic.

Students and teachers can draw, highlight and write notes on documents and PDF's using the Classroom mobile app.

Teachers using an Apple ios can now post to multiple classrooms.

Using Inbox by Gmail, teachers and students can view email notifications.
