How to access and return work in Google Classroom using an iPad.

N.B. These instructions will hopefully work for other tablets too.

First, make sure you have the following apps downloaded:• Google Classroom• Google Slides• Google Docs

All of these apps are free in the Apple App Store.

Sign into the Google Classroom App, using your username followed by @st-bedes.s-tyneside.sch.uk

There are further instructions on how to login, on the Google Classroom page on the school’s website. (Click Here)

Once you are logged into your classroom, you will find yourself on the class stream. Click on the ‘Classwork’ tab at the bottom of the page.

Here you will find resources and work that has been assigned for you to complete. Click on the assignment to open it up further.

At the top you will see the title and a description of the work that needs to be carried out.

Below are resources you will need to complete the work. This could be web links, teaching slides, quizzes, etc.

At the very bottom is ‘Your Work’. Swipe upwards to view this.

Here you can see the work to be completed. Click on the activity you want to complete.

The document will then open up. At this point you can only view it. To edit it, you need to click on the square with an arrow coming form it, in the top right corner.

This will open the document up in either Goggle Slides or Google Docs. You will then be able to edit text and add text boxes.

There is also a play button at the top, which lets you view the slide show in ‘present’ mode. This is useful if there are links or animations within the Google Slides.

Once you have finished editing the slide click on the back to classroom link.Unlike Microsoft PowerPoint or Word, Google Slides and Doc are constantly saving in the background, so there is not a ‘save’ button.

Google Docs works in a similar way. Again you click on the box with an arrow coming from in. This will then open your document within the Google Docs App.

You then click on the pen in the bottom right hand corner.

This will allow you to edit the document. Once you are finished click on the tick in the top left hand corner. Followed by the classroom link at

the top.

You will then be back in the classroom where you can see the changes you have made.

You can then click the X in the top left hand corner.

Make sure all slides and/or docs are completed, before clicking on the ‘Hand In’ button.

If you did ‘Hand In’ something by mistake, or want to make some changes, click ‘Unsubmit’ and your work will return.

The teacher will then check your work and leave a comment. The work will then be returned to you. You will be able to check any comments and make any changes if necessary.

You can click on the icon of a person, in the top right hand corner to view your work.

Here you can see what work still needs to be completed.
