A Better Way to Handle Missing Assignments

Published: November 04, 2022

In a perfect world, all students would submit their work on time. However, for a variety of reasons, this is rarely the case.

Google Classroom is great for allowing teachers to assign work and for students to submit work. As a classroom teacher, I enjoy the convenience of finding student work organized in Google Classroom rather than trying to manage a stack of papers for each assignment. However, I run into the challenge of providing a list of what a student still needs to complete.

Missing Assignments Report

Google Classroom lacks a missing assignments report. When a parent or guardian requests a list of what their student is missing, I cannot send the list from Classroom. In a particular class, I can go to the People tab and drill down to a student, filter for Missing Assignments and then copy and paste that information into an email. 

Customizable Missing Assignments Reports

Fortunately, there is a free and better way to share a list of missing assignments. Schoolytics allows teachers to sync their Google Classroom classes. After logging in, a “Missing Assignments” report is easily accessed.

Create a Filter

Do you just want a list of what a student is missing this week? Or maybe just homework assignments that are missing? Schoolytics allows you to use the filter options at the top to customize the information you want to share. Change the date range from the default “Last 30 days” or filter for class or grading category.

Post to the Stream

If you want to communicate with students about their missing assignments, the Stream is a great option. When selecting to message student assignments the options are “Email” and “Stream.” Click on the Stream to send a list of live links that only the student can view. This shows up right in Google Classroom. The note, either for Email or the Stream, is customizable.

Share with Guardians

Use the 3 dots menu throughout the Schoolytics platform to export information to a Google Doc, Sheets or PDF. Selecting “Save to Drive” creates an editable and customizable missing assignments report that you can send to a parent or guardian. As a classroom teacher, I particularly love this feature since I have control over what information is being shared rather than a generic report that might generate more questions than it answers. 

CC Guardians

A district-wide Schoolytics plan allows you to directly share missing assignments reports with parents and guardians. Under the email option, there is a checkbox to allow you to CC Guardians. 

• Select the email option.
• Checkbox CC Guardians to send a list of missing assignments.
• Customize the email subject line.
• Customize the assignment message. The list of missing assignments will be dynamically generated for each student.
• Document that you notified students and their guardians of their missing assignments.
• Bulk send to students and guardians the report

Save Time with Schoolytics

I save hours of time each week by using Schoolytics to gain insights into student performance, quickly know which assignments have been submitted, and creating reports for better communication about student performance. Schoolytics is a tool that enhances my use of Google Classroom and saves me time.

How To Submit Late Work To Google Classroom

November 11, 2015 in  Pedagogy

Even better, students can also resubmit revised work or late work. That said, there’s a trick to submitting that work without it getting lost in the Interwebs, since Classroom doesn’t send a notification when students turn work in.

10 google classroom hacks.

• April 7, 2020

Guest Blogger James Robinson

When I think about where we were one week ago, many of us were thinking the usual:

“Did I make enough photocopies of that task?”

“What book will I use for my reading rotations today?”

“Should I go to the toilet before I start this next block?”

“Oh no, do I have parents in class helping today?”

“I’ll just check the staff calendar to see if there is anything extra on today”

“Where did I leave my drink bottle and keys?”…

Fast forward only a few days and the questions seem to have not only changed completely but also increased tenfold…

“Have I given editing rights to students?”

“Did I schedule the post for today?”

“What class did I publish that material in?”

“Are my instructions explicit enough, yet simple to follow?”

“How can I make this bigger so I can read it?”

“Did I answer that child’s comment clearly enough?”

“Will the students be able to follow this task?”

“How do I make a collaborative document?”

“What is a good way for students to learn remotely, but not be on a computer all day, yet still have accountability to tasks?”

“What is my password to this website? It is normally just saved on my school computer!”

The questions go on, and many teachers have needed to adopt a new teaching style overnight. The professional learning and development that has swept across our country has been remarkable. I stand proud to be part of such a flexible, resilient and cohesive teaching community. To all my fellow workers on the ground, keep doing what you are doing, continue building relationships and don’t underestimate the impact your teaching still has on your students.

For those who have taken on using Google Classroom, here are some of my top tips to help you save time and some features I have discovered to make your teaching load a little easier:

Scheduling posts

This may seem simple, but it can be a massive time saver! When you go to post anything like material, assignments, questions and so on, you can do this at any point in the day and set it to post at a particular time. For example, my school does a morning check-in and an afternoon sign off. As you all know, time flies when you are teaching so it is really handy to have these set up so that you can continue working with students or planning and know that your information will be shared with your class.

So when I start my day at 5.00 am, 6.45 am, 7.13 am…etc I can say good morning to my class but have this set up to post at 9:00 am. I can also have my afternoon reflection and sign off set up ready to post at 3:00 pm so that students can continue being in their routine (routine and consistency are so important for our learners).

To do this, you set up your posts as usual but go to the little drop-down arrow to the right of the assign/post button and select ‘schedule’ here you can then set a date and time for your information to be pushed out.

Using an iPad to do your marking

How fun is it when you find out something by mistake? I was sitting on my iPad last night checking through some student work and needed to comment/edit a section of their work. I realised that if I tap the pencil icon in the app while viewing their slides, it opens a new window and I can then annotate directly onto their submissions and mark just like it is a workbook. When finished you save this document and google returns a PDF to them with your annotations and marking. How awesome is this!?

Comment banks

Here is another simple time-saver. As we are needing to flick between many documents for students, if you have something you comment on frequently like, “Remember to check your order of operations”, “Great work here using google slides to visualise your story”, or “Please go back and reread the task”, you can have this ready in what is called your comment bank.

To do this, simply open up a piece of work from a student (like how you would comment, grade and return). Once here, you can go to a tab on the right of the screen to open your comment bank. Here you can enter as many comments as you like. Then when you comment using the comment tool like normal, you can put # and your comment bank will drop down. It is then as easy as clicking on the comment you want and posting it.

Classwork topics

As you are working more and more on this digital platform, you may notice that your class work is getting larger and larger. When posting assignments, you have an option to give the assignment a topic. This is an excellent way for you to organise your work so students can navigate your classroom with more ease. It is also easier for you to find tasks as they are then grouped together how you like.

Rearranging Assignments

Once you have posted an assignment, you can rearrange the order they appear for your students. Say you post some really important material, and you want your children to see it first, all you need to do is simply click and drag it to the top of your topic, then it will be the first in the list of tasks/materials for your students to see.

Grading time saver

This isn’t really a hack or anything, rather something my grade team has taken on board. We decided to set all our tasks to be marked out of 5, and each number would represent a grade. Much like A – E (or Extensive – Elementary) marking. If and when we need to write reports, we will have this data ready to go to help us.

Morning roll call

There are several ways to check in with your students. I am alternating between two roll call methods: -The first is I post my good morning message in our class stream and include the link to a google doc (I have already made sure I have the correct editing rights on here… I learned that the hard way!) where students type ‘good morning’ in any language next to their name in a table. The students have been having great fun exploring all the different ways to say ‘good morning’. -The second is posting a question in the classwork feed. Here you can simply post a question like a google form. You give a question, and they can respond in short answer by writing ‘here’ or ‘good morning’, or you can set it to multiple-choice and they can click their answer.

Reusing posts

I learned this one from one of my excellent grade partners and it was a massive game changer! If you are working across multiple classes, this is a handy tool to use. Let’s pretend you are working collaboratively across your grade, and each teacher is responsible for a particular KLA. If you work with four different classes and need to post the same material for each class, then all you need to do is make one post in your first class with everything set up. Once you have posted it the first time and adjusted the due dates, the schedule, the marks, etc. Next, you can move into your other classes by selecting ‘reuse post’ under the create button in your classwork tab. Then you simply open up your material, question or assignment from your first class and select that. Google will instantly open all the information into your current class and after you have checked everything is set, you can post. Sadly, I have not been able to work out how to reuse announcements for class streams… YET!

Google form quizzes

A quick way to assess student learning is to give them a little quiz, maybe at the end of a lesson or the end of a topic. You can simply do this by posting a quiz to your classwork page for students to answer. These can be anything from multiple choice answers to typed up responses. You can even have the google form release the marks back to the students so they can see how they progressed. Depending on your setup you can also lock the google form so students can’t flick between different tabs while they are working through the questions (though this isn’t available for everyone).

Google Classroom app

For many schools (Primary in particular) I think the challenge has been finding a system that is consistent across most of the school while also being accessible to all students. It is very challenging designing or implementing a system while factoring in the abilities of a Kindergarten student compared to a Year 6 student. Obviously, students in the younger years will need a lot more support from their parents or siblings than older students. As a team, a few teachers tried using the Google Classroom app yesterday to submit photos as evidence of student work and found this could be a simpler way for parents to share their child’s work. To do this, all the teacher needs to do is assign a task in their classwork tab, and when parents get this notification, they can select to upload a file. It doesn’t have to be a google slide, a google doc, or something in their drive; it can be a simple photo already on their phone. Once they post the photo and submit it, the teacher can then quickly see the work and give feedback.

Marking in the app is also a lot easier as you can annotate work with a stylus as if it were just an ordinary workbook! Immediately I felt back at home. Google classroom then saves this as a PDF and returns it to the student along with their original submission.

With all this said, looking outside of our current Google Classroom, we as educators have delivered the best lesson to our students over the recent days. We have displayed resilience, modelled growth mindset, shown authentic learning, and have been active problem solvers! To all our amazing educators, you have worked wonders!

Paperless Is Not a Pedagogy

Alice keeler, hacking google classroom for standards based grading.

Why a Student Centered Classroom

Do NOT Copy Google Forms – Your Google Drive is a Mess

Export Tabs to Dynamic Individual Sheets

As you probably know Google Classroom is not designed for standards based grading (SBG). However, you should not feel that you are locked into an archaic grading system of averaging points just because you use Google Classroom. Doing what is best for kids sometimes requires a little creative energy to do it better.

Averaging Points Stinks

A student scores a 0 on an assessment and a 100 on another assessment. By averaging scores the student has a 50%. They showed complete mastery by scoring 100 but are still awarded an F.

Grades should be an accurate reflection of what a student knows.

Averaging points will most likely NOT result in a reflection of student learning. Factoring in failure skews negatively when a student demonstrates success.

Compliance Skews Accurate Reporting

Including behaviors such as turning things in on time also skews the accuracy of a grade to reflect what a student knows. Instead, keep a separate accounting of student behaviors.

Create Topics in Google Classroom

Standards Based Grading is about listing the standards and assessing how well students mastered the standard. For each of your standards, create a topic in Google Classroom.

Leave Grading Turned Off

By default, the settings of Google Classroom are turned off. Leave “no overall grade” and leave toggled off “Show overall grade to students.”

Create Mastery Assignments

Standards Based Grading is not about compliance, formative assessment, participation, or homework. SBG is documentation of student achievement on the standards. Create a separate Google Classroom or separate Topics for non-standards based assessments.

The assignment is likely to be generic. This is where students can upload evidence of their knowledge of the standard.

Assess on a Rubric

If you want to get into Standards Based Grading I highly recommend Dr. Thomas Guskey and Dr. Rick Wormeli . While it is popular to have “exceeds standards” on a rubric, this can be problematic.

From a practical perspective, “Exceeds Standard” presents additional difficulties. In most standards-based environments, mastering a standard means hitting the target. It signifies achieving the goal and learning what was expected. Dr. Thomas Guskey

Instead of percentages, you may want to score on a 4 point scale. Remember, the GOAL is to MEET the standard. When a student achieves a 3 this would be interpreted as an A when calculating letter grades.

• 0 – Not Attempted Yet
• 1 – Not Proficient
• 2 – Below Standard
• 3 – Meets Standard
• 4 – Advanced Applications

Rubric Scores are NOT a Percentage

Your grades can not be A, C, F, and super low F. A 2 on a rubric score SHOULD BE A grade of a C not 50%.

Scores in Google Classroom

For the mastery assignment, you want to make the max score 4. However, remember that a 3 is a grade of an A so allowing Google Classroom to calculate your scores will result in students appearing to be performing lower than they really are.

The score target is 3

This is what makes doing Standards Based Grading in Google Classroom so challenging. How do you extract the rubric scores and it not be a giant hassle?

Note: The rubrics built into Google Classroom can NOT be exported. I recommend you ONLY use them for feedback to the student. Use alicekeeler.com/gcrubric to more easily create rubrics for Google Classroom.

Exporting google classroom scores.

To export scores in Google Classroom, you want to open ANY assignment. Use the cog in the upper right to select “Copy all grades to Google Sheets.” This will export all your rubric scores to a spreadsheet.

Modify the Spreadsheet

The exported scores in the spreadsheet has extra rows. I recommend you delete rows 1, 3, 4, and 5. Delete any assignment columns that are not mastery assignments. Column D is a percentage. Delete column D and insert your own column. There are multiple methods for calculating a composite score for SBG. You may want to use this scale from Marzano . However, remember that past failure should not influence the final score. Take an average of the rubric scores. There should be one score per standard. A 3.0 is an A not a 75%.

Use Schoolytics

I work part-time for Schoolytics to develop Google Classroom solutions. Your FREE Schoolytics account can help you to hack Standards Based Grading for your classes.

Reports by Topic

More features are coming but you can already see how students perform BY TOPIC! This is awesome if you are using each standard as a topic. Use the Students table to drill down to an individual student. Notice the 3 tabs along the top. The middle tab is “By assignment categories.” This will show you how students perform on each Topic (standard).

Assignment Tags

Adding hashtags to your Google Classroom assignments is a hidden easter egg of Schoolytics. Simply add #mastery or #standard5, or whatever you want to track, to the description of your Google Classroom assignment. You can use Schoolytics, for free, to see how your students overall are performing on the assignment tags as well as a student by student drilldown.

Assignments Submitted

One challenge with Standards Based Grading can be the record keeping. If students are submitting their evidence for standards to generic mastery assignments it would be challenging to review all the standards all the time for submissions.

When you log into Schoolytics the home screen has a tile for “Assignments to Grade.” Click on “Start Grading.” This will show you a list of all assignments submitted for all classes. Sort by “Turned In At” to make it easy to be quickly responsive to provide feedback on student work.

Google Classroom for Standards Based Grading

Google Classroom for Standards Based Grading is possible with some creative adjustments. Stay tuned for more support from Schoolytics to help you with your Standards Based Grading.

27 clever teaching hacks for Google Classroom

We asked Tes readers for their best Google Classroom tips and, as usual, you did not disappoint.

Here’s a treasure trove of hacks, shortcuts and teaching ideas to make your online life easier:

Tips for organisation

• Organise the classroom with clear labels for each item - and use emojis so students can quickly see what the task is.
• Use ‘Topics’ to separate each day, unit or chapter, and then number the tasks so the students can see clearly what order to do the work in.
• Set each day’s work as an assignment with the date, day and period clearly labelled. 
• Have a department classroom where you can share resources between teachers.
• ‘Reuse assignment’ will save you time and help with keeping on top of planning.
• When you’re setting multiple tasks for the day, put them all into one assignment. That way, when it is submitted, you have it all in one place.
• When you’re attaching worksheets, make sure everyone has what they need by selecting ‘make a copy for each student’.
• Create an ‘archive’ topic, and put all the previous work in there to keep it tidy.

2. Tips for engagement

• Quizzing on Google Classroom is very easy owing to Google Forms - and you can set them to self-mark to reduce the amount of marking you’ll need to do. Your first question should always be ‘Name?’ so you can easily work out who has submitted.
• ‘I do, we do, you do’ is a great structure for modelling but can be tricky to transfer over to an online lesson. To replicate that whiteboard feeling, you can work together on a shared Google Doc, and encourage whole-class participation as everyone can add parts at the same time.
• Jamboard! Post-It notes are every teacher’s best friend - and now you have digital ones. 
• Mini whiteboards are brilliant in the classroom - and a free online whiteboard tool can give you and your students the same benefits remotely.
• Use the ‘email pupil’ function to chase students who owe you missing work. Save yourself time by having a standard response to copy and paste.
• It’s easy to miss out a student when you can’t see all their faces in front of you. If you download the app for your phone, you can click on ‘people’ and then ‘random generator’, and this will make it easy to speak to all students.

3. Tips for feedback

• Download Mote to voice record your feedback, making it quicker and more personal.
• You can use the app version of Google Classroom to mark on a tablet or smartphone. Using your finger or stylus, you can mark the work, which is turned into a PDF and sent back to the pupil with the original.
• Teachers can use “screen castify” to record their own screen, and then upload this for feedback so students can refer to previous lessons if they need to recap.
• Whole-class feedback can still happen from home. Record your comments using Loom and upload for students to watch. 
• Use “rubric” (on the top right-hand side when you create an assignment) to give feedback. This will make it much easier to work through a whole class.

4.  Tips that are just useful

• You can lock images in Google Slides - really helpful when you don’t want things jumping about. This video explains how.
• The “chat” function can be really helpful, and you can take away the pressure of students rushing an answer by telling them to write it in the chat box but not to hit “send” until you tell them to. You can see their replies at once and be sure they’ve given their true answer, not just what they’ve seen others write.
• If you want a more interactive worksheet, use Google Slides to create it. That way you can have interactive elements and move things around much more easily than on a Google or Word document.
• Add all members of staff who support in the class: teaching assistants, the special educational needs coordinator, the librarian, and so on. Sharing the work you are doing with the other adults supporting your learners is really important.
• You can use Google Forms with your tutor group, too. You can ask five simple questions about workload, wellbeing, access to technology, giving you a valuable overview of how they’re getting on. 
• If you teach older students, or have lots of assignments being completed each week, it might make sense to create a virtual exercise book in Google Docs. Create a copy for each student and fill up with questions or activities for that lesson. It will make it feel more like a classroom and you can use material you already have from existing booklets.
• And a final tip, one that you should share with your students: CTR+D allows you to quickly mute or unmute.

No, just because you clicked turn in on google classroom it doesn’t mean that you actually turned something in

Had a kid just mark every assignment as done and not upload anything... then he proudly emailed me saying that he had caught up with all the late assignments. so i just immediately emailed him back with a screenshot telling him to double check because there was nothing there.

I’m wondering if he just think i’m dumb and expects me to make up a grade??
