Differentiating assignments by student in Google Classroom

Google recently rolled out an update to Google Classroom allowing teachers to distribute assignments to certain students within a class, allowing for greater ease (and confidentiality) in differentiating assignments.

After initially creating the assignment, click on "All Students" as indicated below. You can select specific students from the resulting drop-down list. Only the selected students will see the assignment in their class stream.
