Welcome to Fast Five with the Digital Learning Team where we will be looking at some bite-sized training and goals for your path to conquering your Canvas Courses. Today's special guest is Ashley Jackson (@TechCoachAshley)
Tip #1: Access all Students/Submission for Google LTI 1.3
If a student has submitted an assignment, it will be on this page: https://assignments.google.com/ca
Can be used to grade and verify student submissions.
Tip #2: Grade posting practices
Automatic/Manual posting
You can set for the whole gradebook or specific assignments

Skyward Sync
Set the sync for what works for you, sync when you are ready.
Ashley recommends waiting until the majority of the grades are entered before syncing
Missing assignments
Update the grade status posting
