Preparing Assignments for Remote Learning

Ideally, the easiest way for you to send remote learning work on the Chromebooks is to assign PDFs. Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets can all be converted easily to PDFs. However, if you want to send Google Forms or Youtube Videos, there are ways to do that, too. Everything is outlined in the provided video below.

If you do not want to have to worry about the following four pages of offline instructions, assign PDFs for remote learning days. They are MUCH easier for students to download for offline access if they don't have the internet.

Quick How-to for Students and Parents

If you want or need to use other file types for remote learning days, here are the instructions for setting up offline file access for teachers and students. This will need to be done in advance and repeated as assignments are added to Google Classroom.

IMPORTANT: If you are choosing not to assign as PDFs, aLL Google Classroom files NEED to be added as "Make a Copy for Each Student" so they appear in the students' individual GC folders!
