It's that time of the year again, where we have to start thinking about cleaning up Google Classroom for this school year. I will provide some assistance in completing these tasks.
Reflect on your experience!
- Think about how you used it this year and what you can improve on for next year.
Open your to-do list and review, grade and return all work to students.
Delete the Classroom calendar in Google Calendar - Video tutorial
- Open up Google Calendar and delete the calendar. Just be sure you want to delete it because it is not recoverable!
- If you are unsure about this, then just hide it in your list.
- If you are enrolled as a student in another class, be sure you unenroll from it so that you do not continue to receive notifications from it.
Archive and Delete your classes - Video tutorial
- This is a two step process. You must archive the class first, then you can delete it. Keep in mind if you delete the class by accident, it can be restored.
Export any assignment rubrics - Video tutorial
- Before archiving and deleting a class, you may want to export an assignment rubric to a Google Sheet.
Manage your Drive folders that are associated with Google Classroom - Video tutorial
- You can delete any classroom folders that were created when you created a new class. Just be sure you do not delete the CLASSROOM folder in 'My Drive'. Additionally, you can create a folder for the school year, and just move all of your class folders into the archive folder.
Delete any bookmarks associated with Google Classroom - Video tutorial
Shared with Me label in Drive
- I don't recommend deleting any files in this label. There will be to many files to clean-up and it really is not necessary.
Create a new master class
- Create a new master class for all of your assignments so that you can re-use the posts for next year.
