Completing and submitting work on a phone or tablet

It's pretty straightforward to get your work done on any device when you are using Classroom, but there's a few buttons that might confuse you!

  • If you want to type on an assigned document use the 'open in' icon (all changes will auto save)

  • If you want to annotate or draw - use the pen icon (don't forget to SAVE)

To submit work, press back arrows till you return to assignment and just press 'submit'!

If when you click 'your work' there is already a document with your name, that's a template your teacher made to help you with your work. You just press 'open in' and type on that document.

Alternatively, you may start a new document from the assignment window if you don't see anything attached.

Any other type of files (e.g. videos, photos, pdfs) can be attached before submitting work.
