The Google Classroom system allows students and teachers to quickly submit and correct assignments. As a student, you can submit an assignment by logging into your profile on Google Chrome and opening your course list in Classroom. Teachers can create and distribute assignments to their students by logging into Chrome, selecting a course and adding an assignment within the page itself.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Sign in to Google Classroom
Step 1. Open Google Chrome
To access Google Classroom, you will need to use the official Google browser.
Step 2. Log in to Google Chrome
You can do this by clicking on your name (or on the human silhouette icon) in the upper right corner of the Chrome interface. You will need to log in using your school credentials (for example, [email protected]). Once you have entered all the data, click on "Log in to Chrome".
Step 3. Log in to the Google Classroom application
To do this, click on the link indicated. If you haven't installed the Google Classroom app on your computer, you can download it from the web store.
Step 4. Click on the "Student" or "Teacher" button
It's at the bottom of the page. Click on the button that concerns you. Google Classroom will redirect you to the right page.
- Students will be redirected to the courses page, where they will have the option to join a new course by clicking on the "+" button at the top of the screen.
- Teachers will be redirected to a page containing a list of all their current courses.
- Students will not be able to log into teacher accounts.
Method 2 of 3: Make and Submit an Assignment
Step 1. Log into your Google Classroom account
This will open the course menu, from which you can choose one and view it.
Step 2. Click on the course for which you need to complete the assignment
You should then be redirected to the course page.
Step 3. Click on the relevant task
The assignment page will then open. Based on the teacher's preferences, you may see a title related to the content of the task, a brief description on how to perform it and / or an attachment.
Step 4. Evaluate the type of assignment you have been assigned to determine how to submit it
Google Classroom supports several formats, including Forms and various types of attachments.
- If the task is on Google Forms, just fill out the form in the browser. By clicking on "Submit" once you are done, the assignment will be delivered automatically.
- If the task is longer, click on "Open task". This way, you can view an attachment on Google Drive by clicking on it, attach a file by clicking "Add" and selecting an appropriate method or create a new attachment by clicking "Create" and selecting a file type.
Step 5. Click on "Mark complete" at the bottom of the page
Only do this once you have finished the task. This step should not be applied to forms, as they have a special button that allows you to send them directly. Once you have marked the assignment as completed, it should read "Delivered" next to it.
Method 3 of 3: Create an Assignment
Step 1. Make sure you are logged into your teacher account
Only teachers can create and distribute assignments.
Step 2. Click on the course in which you want to assign an assignment
The page dedicated to the course in question will open.
Step 3. Click on the "+" button
It is located in the lower right corner of Chrome. By clicking on it, you will be prompted to add a new task.
Step 4. Click on "Create assignment"
A new assignment form will open.
Step 5. Enter the title of the assignment
The title should help students understand both the content of the work and the format in which it is to be completed ("writing", "reading", etc.). If you don't want to add a title, you can skip this step and determine the due date for delivery.
Step 6. Enter instructions for carrying out the task
This will help students to follow specific guidelines when carrying out the work. Make sure you indicate what content the assignment refers to (for example, you could explain that it is related to the topics covered in the last lesson).
You can also take advantage of this section to clarify your evaluation criteria
Step 7. Select a delivery date
To do this, click on the arrow next to the "No expiration date" option. Then, click on "No expiration date" and select one from the calendar. While it is likely that you will communicate the due date of the assignment during the lesson, it will be useful for your students to be able to see it next to the work itself.
In this section you can also add the exact expiration time
Step 8. Add a topic if you wish
You can do this by clicking on the arrow next to the "No topic" option. Click on "Create topic" and enter the name of the topic. The topic should reflect the thematic unit currently addressed in the course. This will help students stay organized.
You can also select an existing topic from this menu
Step 9. Click the "Add" button to insert an attachment
The icon of this button depicts a paper clip. You will have a couple of options available:
- Select a file from your computer, then click on "Upload" to attach the document;
- To attach a document saved in Google Drive, click on "Google Drive" instead.
Step 10. Click on "Assign" when completed
The assignment will be published on the course notice board. Students should be notified in their stream that the assignment is published.
