    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
      • Resource doc: https://guides.instructure.com/m/4152/l/1116617-how-do-i-select-a-grade-posting-policy-for-a-course-in-the-gradebook
      • 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

          • Tip #3: Message students who function

            • Not only is this great for remediation, you can use this to message positivity and build connections

              • Hide the total in Canvas to help with Skyward
              • Resource doc: https://guides.instructure.com/m/4152/l/92748-how-do-i-hide-totals-in-my-students-grade-summaries
              • Move the assignments and columns within the Gradebook to meet your needs
              • Tip #5: Notes Column (Modifications, IEP reminders, personalized notes)

                • Could be Face to Face, virtual, items to connect about, etc.
                • Resource doc: https://guides.instructure.com/m/4152/l/814127-how-do-i-use-the-notes-column-in-the-gradebook

                            Tip #1: Accessing Sections

                            • Large course with 120 kids?
                            • Use sections
                              • Go to settings in Course Navigation
                              • Open sections
                              • Open the Course Section
                              • Resource: Canvas Guides Post on Sections
                              • Tip #2: Assign to Specific students

                                • Go to Assignments
                                • In the assignment settings, remove “everyone” and look at “Assign to”
                                • Resource: Canvas Guides post on assigning to specific students
                                • Tip #3: Google Assignments LTI

                                  • Just like any good “second trilogy” we are going to redo “recon” some of the first trilogy. Since our first three episodes Google and Canvas released an updated LTI.
                                  • The old Google Drive Cloud Assignments will disappear eventually, so starting this transition now will help you!
                                  • Students will register their Drive with Canvas
                                  • View in Speed Grader
