Google Classroom in June – 3 Essential Tips!

If you’ve been using Google Classroom for the first time this year, you and I are probably sharing similar thoughts as the school year comes to an end:  What do I do with my Classroom?  Do I really have to start ALL over next year?




After doing some research of my own, I hope you’ll find these helpful tips to successfully finish the year with your online classroom.
Tip One:  Download all grades!

Most (if not all) of my record keeping has been completed digitally this year, but we still need to turn in our grade books in June.  This is one way to download your grades so you can have them all in one spot.  You can export them to Google Sheets, download one assignment as a CSV, or download all assignments as a CSV.

Tip Two:  Create an Archive Folder

I’ll be archiving my Google Classroom from this school year, but unfortunately, in my Google Drive, the folder for the class will still be there. Therefore, my suggestion is to create an Archive Folder that you can literally move your Classroom folder into so you can have remaining access to those files, just not for your current school year.

Tip Three: Archive Classes

This is the easy one.  You can archive classes in Google Classroom which is amazing because then you can reuse the posts!  Reusing the Classroom itself, while tempting, is not ideal for K-12 education because there’s no flexibility when it comes to reordering assignments, etc.  Therefore, archiving and reusing posts is the way to go!

Hope these three tips help you close out your school year with Google Classroom!
