How to Turn in Assignments in Google Classroom

Dominic Anderson As a content marketer by day and tech enthusiast by night (and some of the day too), I share my thoughts about new platforms and fixes for the problems I’ve encountered with the technology I use. Read more December 21, 2023

Google Classroom makes it easier for teachers to create, share, and grade assignments. Better still, students can easily submit their work on the platform.

If you’re wondering how to submit assignments on Google Classroom, you’re in the right place. This article will explain everything you need to know.

Google Classroom – How to Turn in Assignments

Google Classroom lets students submit assignments via various devices such as PCs, Android phones, and iPhones. The platform also offers an organized way for teachers to collect and view submissions.

Here’s how to turn in assignments on Google Classroom:

Turn in Assignments on Mobile

It’s easy to submit Google Classroom assignments using a mobile device, whether you’re working with an Android or iPhone. The procedure is generally the same for both systems.

To submit a file, include a Google Drive file, link, or photo from your camera roll. Alternatively, you can create a new Google Doc, Slide, Sheet, or PDF. In addition to its other features, the Classroom app has an inbuilt scanner that allows you to convert several pictures into one PDF for assignment submission.

• The mobile app allows learners to submit their homework assignments before the due date using the core functionality of their smartphones. Open the Classroom app, go to the assignment, and attach your work. Tap on turn-in to submit the completed assignment and change its status to “turned-in.”

Attach Files From Google Drive

Here’s how to attach a file from Google Drive to your Google Classroom assignment:

Now you can add images, spreadsheets, videos, and documents from your files located from Google Dive straight into Google classroom assignments. This will save you from having to download them first and then re-upload to access your work.

To Attach a New Google Doc

To attach a new Google document, slide presentation, spreadsheet, or drawing to your assignment, do the following:

This way, you can generate many Google files. Al of which can be included as attachments in one Classroom task to keep your work organized.

Attach a Link to Your Assignment Submission in Google Classroom

You can attach a link to a website or other online resource for your assignment submission in Google Classroom. This allows you to provide supplementary materials from the web to support your work.

The link will now be attached to your assignment submission. Your teacher can click the link to access the online resource you provided

Submit an Assigned Document

If the teacher attaches a document with your name in the title, that should be your personal copy to edit and review. You can click “Turn in” after your teacher reviews your progress.

Once submitted, this changes an assignment’s status from Not Done to Done.

How do you locate the specific assignment you want to turn in?

To find a particular assignment in Google Classroom, click on your class from the main page. This will bring up all materials. Under the Classwork tab, you can find the assignment. Assignments are listed with the most recent at the top. Clicking on the title or image shows where your work can be added.

How do you submit an assigned document in Google Classroom?

When assigned a document by your teacher, open it from the assignment page by clicking on the image of your name. Edit the file and save changes before turning it in either through the Turn in button on the doc or the submission page of assignments.

How can I submit my assignment using a mobile device such as an Android or an iPhone?

To turn in the assignment using a smartphone, launch the Classroom app from your mobile device, go to the specific assignment, attach any files, and click on Turn in .

Where are the directions for the assignments posted on Google Classroom?

Open the Classwork page and go to Assignments. Once you have done so, assignment details will pop up. Above it is a link entitled View instructions which will lead you to a full set of teacher’s instructions.

Can I attach files from Google Drive to an assignment in Google Classroom?

To attach Google Drive files, click Add or create under Your work . Go to Google Drive , then pick your file. Finally, click Add so that you can have the file attached.

The Key to Successful Assignment Submissions

The efficiency of Google Classroom depends on how well you navigate the submission process. Students who want to complete their assignments in good time will benefit most from this process. After all, handing in assignments on time is part of being a good student who values the teacher’s feedback.

Assignments

When creating an assignment, keep the title short and use the instructions area for your detailed instructions. You can attach a file, video or link. You can assign the same assignment to multiple classes. You can post the assignment immediately, schedule a date and time for the post to go live or save the post as a draft. You can set a due date and time - assignments with a due date will be added to the class calendar. Assignments default to no due date so if you want it due on a particular date, be sure you change it. You can create topics for each assignment. The Stream can then be filtered by topic so students (and teachers) can find things quicker.

Make a Copy for Each Student

Have a template that you would like students to start from? Create an assignment and make a copy of the template for each student. Each student gets his or her own copy and your original is unchanged.

When you distribute a document in this way, as soon as the student opens his or her template you have access to that student's document. You can provide feedback to the student as they are working.

Attach Multiple Files to Classroom Assignment

You can attach multiple items to one Google Classroom assignment. This video shows you how to attach a template (make a copy for each student), a rubric, a link to an article and a YouTube video all to the same assignment. Classroom keeps everything for this one assignment together and makes it easy for students to access everything they need to complete the assignment.

Student Created Google Assignment

You want students to create a Doc, Sheet, Slide, Drawing for an assignment. Post the assignment to Google Classroom with the instructions to use the Create option to create the document. Students don't need to go out to Drive to create a new document and the assignment is named for them. When they are finished they select Turn In to submit the assignment.

When students create a document in this way, you have immediate access to the document. Instead of waiting until the student turns the document in to give feedback, you can give the student feedback as they work on the document.

Collect Digital Creations Other Than Google Files

Assign a Haiku Deck or a ThingLink or a PowToon? How do you collect those assignments? Use Classroom! Students use the Add link option and select Turn In to submit.

Share to Classroom

Look for the Share to Classroom option in many of your favorite websites. Some of the websites that include this option are Quizizz, EDpuzzle, Quizlet, PBS, American Museum of Natural History, Discovery Education, Duolingo, TIME Edge. More options are being offered all the time so be sure you check your favorite website!

6 Tips for Managing Assignments and Submissions in Google Classroom

Patricia umhafer pd specialist, blog on november 30 2021.

Google Classroom is a fantastic platform for disseminating information as well as for pushing out assignments and receiving submissions. However, if not organized, it can be very overwhelming for both teachers and students. Here are some tips for managing and organizing those assignments and submissions.

• Understand and use Drive folders First, let’s take a second to clarify how Classroom Drive folders work. When a class is created in Classroom, a Drive folder for that class is simultaneously created. Only the teacher has access to this folder, so anything added to the folder will not be seen by the students. Similarly, when students are added to the class, a personal drive folder is created for each of them. The teacher does not have access to the student folder, only to the documents turned in. When a student submits an assignment digitally, Classroom automatically creates a subfolder in the teacher’s class drive folder, pre-labeled with the name of the assignment. All student submissions will be stored in this folder, labeled with the student name. This is great for organization!  From there, you can choose to leave it and have the folder organized by assignment, or move the submission to a folder shared with your student.
• Create naming conventions Creating a naming convention helps you and your students to easily identify what the document is, and makes it easily searchable. I recommend using the following: Unit or Period number – Name of Unit – Type of Document .  A document using this naming convention might look something like this:  “2nd Period ELA – Poetry – e.e.cummings Reading”. Of course, it is always best for you to create something you can remember and your students will understand, so feel free to use any naming convention that works best for you, just remember to keep it consistent. 
• Number assignments By numbering assignments, you are now giving students a quick reference. Instead of typing out or saying the whole title, you can just say, “please see and turn in assignment #5.”  This will also help you keep track of what has been turned in.  You can choose to number just the assignments that will be turned in, or all assignments.  
• Create topics   Creating topics in Google Classroom is like creating folders in Google Drive. By creating a “Week” topic, students can easily see what is expected of them for the week. Another suggestion is to create a “Day” topic. In the “Day” topic, you can put things like attendance forms, Do Nows, exit tickets, and anything else the student will need that day. Other suggestions are creating unit topics, assignment type topics, or subject topics. 
• Disable stream assignment alerts Another great tip is to disable the assignment alerts in the stream. You can do this by going to the settings gear and selecting “Classwork On The Stream” and “Hide Notifications”.  This will keep the stream clear and you can use it just for class announcements. Of course, make sure to remind your students to check the “Classwork” tab, or pin that as an announcement on the top of the stream.
• Use due dates The last tip is to create due dates. If you set a due date, after that date has passed, students will no longer be able to edit or submit the assignment. This prevents you from receiving late assignments or constant edits. This is also a great way to set clear expectations and accountability.

By keeping assignments and submissions organized, you will be saving you and your students’ time and it will help keep expectations clear.  Be sure to check out our accompanying OTIS course, Managing submissions and Assignments in Google Classroom for resources and tips to get you started.

They provide opportunities for students to practice the skills and apply the knowledge that they have been taught in a supportive environment. It also helps the teacher gauge how well students are learning the material and how close they are to mastery.

Because of the nature of assignments, managing them can get hectic. That’s why its best to use a platform like Google Classroom to help you manage assignments digitally. In today’s tip, we will discuss 48 ways that you can use Classroom to manage student assignments.

• Assignment Status – Easily check how many students turned in an assignment as well as how many assignments have been graded by going to the Classwork tab and clicking on the title of the assignment.
• Assign to Multiple Classes – Post an assignment to multiple classes by using the “for” drop-down menu when creating an assignment.
• Brainstorm – Use Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Drawings to brainstorm for class assignments.
• Calendar of Due Dates – Link a Google Calendar with due dates for assignments, tests, and other important dates into Classroom.
• Check Homework – Classroom makes checking homework easy with a quick glance at the assignment page. If more detailed grading is needed, just access the grading interface for the assignment.
• Choice Boards – Give students a choice in how they demonstrate what they know by creating a choice board and uploading it as an assignment. Choice boards allow students to choose between several assignments and can be created directly in Classroom, using Google Docs, or with third-party apps.
• Co-Teach Classes – Invite others to co-teach in your Classroom. Each teacher is able to create assignments and post announcements for students.
• Create Questions Before a Socratic Seminar – Create an assignment for students to develop questions before a Socratic seminar. During the collaborative process, students can eliminate duplicate questions.
• Detention Assignment Sheet – Create a detention assignment sheet using Google Docs. The assignment sheet can then be shared with the detention teacher and individual students privately through Classroom.
• Differentiate Assignments – Assign work to individual students or groups of students in Classroom.

• Do-Now Activities – Use Classroom to post Do-Now Activities.
• Draft Assignments – Save posts as drafts until they are ready for publishing.
• Feedback Before Student Submits – Provide feedback to students while their assignment is still a work in progress instead of waiting until submission. This will help the student better understand assignment expectations.

Google Classroom: Grading and Leaving Feedback

Lesson 4: grading and leaving feedback.

/en/google-classroom/using-forms-with-google-classroom/content/

Grading and leaving feedback

After students submit assignments, you'll be able to review and grade them. Google Classroom gives each assignment its own page, making it easy to grade and leave feedback for your students.

Watch the video below to learn more about grading and leaving feedback.

Viewing an individual assignment

To view an assignment, you have two options. Start by navigating to the Classwork tab. Click the assignment you want to grade, then click View Assignment .

Another option is to click the  Grades tab. From there, you can open the assignment you want to grade.

Either option will take you to the Student Work page for that assignment. This is where you'll be able to view each of your students' submissions and grade them.

Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn more about the Student Work page.

Turned In Assignments

Here, you'll find a list of the students who have submitted the assignment.

The students in this list have yet to submit the assignment.

Click here to type the grade you'd like to give each assignment. Once you've graded an assignment, it will automatically be selected. You can then choose to return it to the student.

Total Points

This is the  total point value for the assignment. You can adjust it by clicking here and typing how many points you'd like the assignment to be worth.

Instructions Tab

In the Instructions tab , you can view the instructions for the assignment you're viewing.

Assignments

Here, you'll find all of the assignments submitted by your class so far. Simply click one of them to open and view it.

Students in this list have graded assignments.

Grading assignments from the Student Work page

One way to grade students' assignments is on the Student Work page . Simply click the score next to any student's name, then type the grade you'd like to give. 

After grading the assignments, you can select the checkbox beside each student's name and click Return . This will send the graded assignments back to the corresponding students.

Grading assignments with the grading tool

You can also grade an assignment using the  grading tool found within each individual submission. First, you'll need to click an assignment to open it.

On the right side of the screen, you'll find a column featuring the grading tool. In the  Grade field, you can type the grade you'd like to give. You can also leave feedback for students in the Private comments field.

Once you've finished grading an assignment and are ready to share it with that student, you can click the Return button. To view other options, you can click the drop-down arrow. The Return this submission option only returns one grade at a time. If you have graded multiple assignments, the Return multiple submissions option can help you save time by returning grades to more than one student.

A dialog box will ask you to confirm that you want to return the work to a certain number of students. Click Return .

Viewing the class' grades as a whole

Under the Grades tab, you can see the grades for each assignment by student, along with the assignment's average grade and the class' overall average grade.

To see overall grades, you will need to turn on Overall grade calculation in the Class' settings.

To see a particular student's work, click on their name. You can see what they have turned in, what has been returned, and if they are missing assignments.

Google Classroom gives you the ability to export grades from assignments to Google Sheets . To export grades for assignments you've finished grading, go to any Student Work page, click the gear icon at the top-right, and select Copy all grades to Google Sheets .

Once you've created one of these spreadsheets, it's important to note that it will not update automatically . Whenever you grade more assignments, you'll need to export the grades again.

If you're looking for a more detailed and customizable gradebook experience , there are plenty of third-party apps that work in conjunction with Google Classroom. You can find a list of them them on this page .
