I generally choose to make a copy for each student because I do not want them to edit MY copy of the file, rather I want them manipulating their own copy. TIP: When assigning, make sure you toggle the options below. Now when I assign that copy the students will only have the one slide to complete. For example, if I want to assign a calendar math activity for students to complete but don’t want to assign the entire original file, I will delete all of the other slides in the COPY of the original. These are the files I go into and manipulate for assigning to students. This step IMO is super important because I don’t want to have to run back to TpT or wherever I got a resource from to get a clean copy each time I need the original file.įrom my “Originals” file I can easily create copies of activities/resources into the main unit folder. In each unit I like to keep a folder titled “Originals” where I save my clean copies.

Under each subject folder I created additional folders for each unit. I like to store folders in my Drive based on subject (which is also how I published assignments out to students). Here’s how to navigate assigning only what students need for a given assignment. So you’ve grabbed a really awesome resource from TpT, but the resource is 50 slides long and you only need or want students to complete a few slides at a time. There really isn’t a right or wrong way to do this, so be flexible and see what works best for you. Here are 4 commonly used methods for grouping assignments: There are a number of ways you can do this, and my best advice is to pick one, try it, and adjust if it doesn’t work for you. You may be asking yourself, what topics should I have? If you haven’t yet set your topics, you’ll want to click “+Create” select “Topic” and type the name of your topic. Once you’ve clicked “Classwork” the topics for your class are shown on the left-hand side. One of the very first things you’ll want to do if you have not already done so, is determine how you want students to view assignments in the classwork tab. One of the things I hear most from teachers is, “how do I organize all of the activities that students are completing?” Well, my friend, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, BUT with using these strategies and a little testing on your part I think you’ll find a method that works for you and your students. Today I want to share with you 5 tips that will help you get your Google Classroom more organized, efficient and effective. We won’t get into the benefits or drawbacks of digital activities/learning – that’s a whole ‘nother soap box topic. While the shift to incorporating more digital activities has been happening in many teachers’ classrooms for quite some time now, the effects of COVID have truly pushed teaching and learning into a digital age with distance learning, hybrid learning and the need to not share classroom supplies.
