Teacher Creates Assignment

  • Assignments can be sent to one or multiple classes, or to individual students for differentiation purposes.

  • Topics on the Classwork page allow teachers to organize work.

  • Due dates will generate calendar appointments for students and automatically capture when work is submitted, graded, and returned to students.

  • Assignments can include a template which will allow teacher access and ability to provide student feedback from the beginning of an assignment.

  • Assignments should include robust directions in case student is absent at time of assignment

  • Rubrics can be embedded within an assignment.

Student Assignment Views

  • Student assignment view allows students to review directions, access template, send a private comment to the teacher and add additional documents or supporting materials to an assignment.

  • If the teacher creates the assignment with a template and 'make a copy for each student', Google automatically names the assignment and creates a copy with each student's name in the document title.

  • Students can send private comments to their teacher.

  • Students can view all assigned and missing work from their Assignments page.
