Paradigm Shift – Information in Google Classroom

In contrast to different LMS’s your information in Google Classroom are NOT in Google Classroom. They’re in Google Drive.

In different merchandise making a replica of a Phrase doc isn’t an issue as a result of the unique and the copy are saved within the LMS. Most likely you cannot make edits to these information as a result of they’re “hooked up” to the project. Nonetheless, Google Classroom is completely different.

Google Classroom Information Stay in Google Drive

Once you copy an project 99% of the time you do NOT want to repeat the attachments. The hyperlink to the unique file is what you need. You do NOT need a number of information in your Google Drive with the identical title. You do NOT want copies of screenshots, movies, PDF’s… EVER!

WORSE… for those who educate a number of sections and also you copy a category for every part you’ve copies of copies of copies all making a large mess in your Google Drive.

Copies of Google Kinds

MAYBE MAYBE you need a copy of a Google Kind. However actually… not even then. You need to REFRESH your Kind from final yr, not copy it. Use the SAME Google Kind however delete the responses from final yr. In case you have a spreadsheet hooked up to the Kind you’ll be able to unlink the Kind and relink to the identical spreadsheet or a brand new one.

For every Google Kind use the puzzle piece icon to make use of the Add-on Recent Kind Tab. Run this Add-on to rapidly refresh your Kind and replace the hyperlink to the spreadsheet. Able to go and no copies in your Google Drive.

New College students – Final Years Assignments

Train the scholars you have, not the scholars you had. Good instructing is constructing relationships with college students and adapting the assignments for the wants of the present college students. Copying every little thing makes it troublesome to be versatile to the present college students. I’ve been there, with each intention to replace the assignments but when we might be trustworthy, instructing is difficult. You run out of time. It’s simpler to only depart it because it was.

3 Options to “Copy” the Total Google Classroom Class

As a substitute of copying the whole class (and the attachments) listed here are 4 alternate options.

1. Reuse Put up

You’ll be able to reuse posts from final years class one by one. What I really like about that is after I choose to reuse an project it pops as much as EDIT and UPDATE the project. This encourages me to maintain my assignments recent.

⚠️ What I don’t like about Reuse put up is it’s important to scroll via all of assignments to get to the one you need to reuse.

What’s on the prime of the Stream of the previous class is what will likely be first provided to you to reuse. It’s sooner to maneuver a bit of assignments to the highest of the Stream of the previous class so that you’re able to reuse them.

#001 Quantity Your Assignments

My finest tip is so as to add a hashtag and a 3 digit quantity in entrance of your project titles. This has SOOOOOOO many benefits. One of many benefits is for those who reuse #012 then the subsequent one you need to reuse is #013. This helps with a few of the confusion when reusing a put up.

No Copies of Attachments

When reusing a put up there’s a checkbox to “Create new copies of all attachments.” At all times depart this unchecked. Don’t copy the attachments!! They’re NOT attachments, they’re hyperlinks to information in your Google Drive.

Schedule to A number of Courses

When reusing a single put up you’ll be able to schedule that put up to a number of courses so that you solely need to reuse the put up one time.

2. Reuse GC

I’ve an unofficial Add-on that lets you handle your Google Classroom. That is my HUB for utilizing Google Classroom. Make a replica of the spreadsheet. You will want to authorize the Add-on. You’re authorizing YOURSELF to entry YOUR OWN information. It’s completely secure.

1. Make a replica of the spreadsheet.
2. Use the Extensions menu to arrange your Google Classroom class
3. Use the sidebar for Reuse GC to import assignments from final years class
4. Checkbox as many assignments at a time that you just need to reuse.
   Tip: You’ll be able to edit the titles and descriptions within the spreadsheet if you need.
5. Use the sidebar to push assignments to this years class.
   The “attachments” are NOT copied however preserve their hyperlinks.
6. Edit the assignments in your Google Classroom. Click on on the “attachment” hyperlinks and edit/modify so they’re up to date for this yr.
