NEW Google Assignments App in Schoology
Posted by Elizabeth Hancock on 1/19/2021
TCS has added an app in Schoology called Google Assignments. Here are some details.
Using this app will allow teachers to utilize the Originality Reports feature that is part of our new Google Suite for Education Enterprise accounts.
There is no need for users to add the app in Schoology.
Practice with the app before using it in a high stakes situation.
Schoology has a detailed overview of the app, including screenshots of how to use it.
To use the app, go to a course in Schoology, click Add Materials, and select Google Assignments from the right side of the menu that pops up.
When you create an assignment, the due date you put on the assignment DOES NOT write over into the Schoology calendar. You have to edit the assignemnt in Schoology to do that.
When you grade a student’s work AND click Return, the grade will then appear in the Schoology gradebook.
You cannot add a Schoology rubric to a Google Assignment, but you can add a rubric from your Google Drive to a Google Assignment when you create one.
To see a student view, join one of our model courses in Schoology and complete one of the assignments with the icon. (Available in January.)
Elem join code G4NG-CB8G-QQ7SJ
Secondary join code V6QC-86JZ-87PXF
Here are a few things to know about the student experience:
When students click on the linked assignment, it automatically makes a copy and adds their name to it. It also opens in a new tab.
Students must go back to the Schoology tab and click submit to turn in their assignment.
The Google Assignments app in Schoology is one more choice for teachers. The Google Drive Assignments app is still available.
TCS now has a Digital Resource Database. It provides comprehensive information on district provided digital resources. While most are learning resources, it includes non-instructional resources.
