Google Classroom
Return all work and assignments. This will transfer ownership back to the students.
Consider removing or unenrolling students who are no longer in your class.
ARCHIVE old classes . Once the year is over you can archive any classes you won't be teaching again.
Do NOT Delete the Classroom Folder - Do not delete it. I repeat ...do not delete the Google Classroom folder. It's really hard to get back that main folder!
Google Drive: Consider creating some folders outside of the "Classroom" folder to move some files over that you want to keep and find easily. However, don't get "delete happy" and be sure to follow #4 before you begin moving and reorganizing your Google Drive.
Create a folder for exemplary work. Consider creating a folder of work that you can use the next year as an example of exemplary work for rubrics or anchor papers.
Delete old Google Classroom class calendars (calendar.google.com) if you want to.
Make a Google Classroom "template" Class. If you have classes that you will be teaching again consider making that class a "template" for next year. You can do this by copying the class and renaming it.
EndOfYearSeesaw.pngEndYearGoogleClassroom.pngJust keep files in "Shared with Me"! "Shared with me" is a filter not a folder of your own documents in Google Drive. Those files are ones that have been shared with you but are not those that you own. They will show up in search results if you need to find them. However you should not move things around within shared with me because it will affect others who have access to that file or folder. "Shared with me" is usually a hot mess, we just have to learn to live with it.
Reflect on your Google Classroom practices, collaborate with others for ideas. At the end of the school year it's always a good idea to reflect on the past year and think about what worked and what didn't. You can take the opportunity to ask your colleagues or your PLN for advice or feedback on how to improve your practice.

Transcript:
This is PDcast, your professional development podcast by and for Saddleback Valley Unified School District educators. I’m Kevin Fairchild, Instructional Technology Coordinator, and I’ll be working with EdTech ToSAs Jen Anderson, Elizabeth Armstrong, and Kathleen Shafer to bring you ideas, suggestions, tools, and interviews that can spark your creativity and improve your lesson design. We are planning to have episodes about Universal Design for Learning, inquiry mindset, Digital Culture, Eduprotocols, online and offline content resources, digital lesson design with Hyperdocs, hour of code, and much much more. We’re also very excited to feature interviews with teachers around the district who are doing exciting, inventive, and effective lessons. Our plan is to produce a 10-15 minute episode each week, so you can listen a little at a time, or save them all up and binge-listen over winter break! Episodes, show notes, transcripts, and resources will be available on our website at go.svusd.org/edtech, or through Saddleport. This podcast will be available through all major platforms, so subscribe now. Welcome to PDcast!
