Many of us have extremely valuable resources and worksheets that we have used for many years with our students as a paper copy. Now we are able to share these documents digitally and make life a whole lot easier for both us and our students. So why should we re-type these into a google doc, WE SHOULDN'T! Lets use technology to help us. You can upload an existing word document, excel spreadsheet or powerpoint and either share it for students to read or convert it to a google version to be used and edited. The instructions below show how to upload an existing document you have. The next blog post will show you how to convert that to a google version. And another following blog post will provide instructions for how to fully utilise google to send a google doc to each and every student at the simple click of one button in google classroom.

During a session I was at with the beginning teachers yesterday, we discussed one of the issues they found students were having. When a teacher puts a document as an announcement and asks students to make a copy to write their answers in, they found that this was an annoying task for students and some students struggled with it. Of course you can set tasks as assignments and by doing this you can select to send copies to all students. However sometimes you don't want to do this for a variety of reasons. There is a way to put a link either into Google Classroom or in an email which forces the person clicking on it to automatically create their own copy rather than typing into your master copy. This is so quick and easy and can be used in a lot of different ways.
These instructions are from Klista Rader via youtube.
This ability in google classroom will save both teachers and students a lot of time and definitely paper if done well. It is a purposeful use of technology in that students can then utilise their laptops to complete work and you have the ability to comment and view their work at any time. When we refer to assignment, it can be any task/worksheet/assignment you would like students to complete.
To set a google classroom assignment you must use a google doc/sheet/slides. If you are wanting to use an old task you have on a word document you will need to convert it first. This is easy and very quick, instructions are below:
Once you have done this you are ready to go. The instructions below can be viewed in a larger screen by clicking here. A video explanation by Darcey Leech can be found here.
