iPad Web Shortcut on HomeScreen, Back Up Notability, Missing Google Classroom Comments

[Sarah Glatz]

Google Classroom Missing Feedback for Students?

Once Google Docs are turned in on Google Classroom, they are owned by you, the teacher.  That means that students will not be able to see any feedback on the document. 

Students will be able to find the feedback after the document has been returned to them, but they'll have to actively look for it as they will not receive a notification that feedback was left - because they didn't own the document when it was left.

The answer:  Return work immediately - before you even look at it.  That way, every comment you make will send the student a notification.  It will bring the student's attention to the feedback and they will be able to see it since they are the owner once the document has been returned.   

Here is more information about this if you are interested. 

Website Shortcut on iPad Home Screen

For websites used often, such as school website or meet.google.com, tap the share icon and then "Add to Home Screen" as shown below.  This will put a link to the website on the iPad home screen which looks just like an app.

Please Back up Your Notability

If you use Notability, please take a minute to do this.  You may regret not doing it because if the iPad breaks, is lost, something gets stuck in the charging port, etc., you will lose everything...and it only takes a few seconds:

Tap the Gear icon on the Notability home screen

Tap Auto-Backup

Tap Google Drive

Log in.  That's it!

Need to Learn Something Quick?

Please let me know if you or your students would like to learn how to use or do something.  I'm happy to stop into your class, virtual or actual, or even make you a video to watch, pause, and re-wind at your convenience.
