    • Coursework & Grades for classes you Administer

On Step 2 of 3 will have you choose the Google Classroom Courses

• You may choose multiple classes by clicking in the box next to the Google Classroom.   A separate assignment will be created for each selected class.

• You may choose one or all of your students: 

  • TeacherMade will automatically choose to assign it to "All Students" in your class and any students who join the class after the assignment is created.

  • By choosing "Select Students" TeacherMade will give the assignment only to the students who you choose from the populated list, not to student who join the class later (you can add them manually in Google Classroom). Click the pencil icon to select more students to receive the assignment.

On Step 3 of 3 you will be able to choose:

Assignment Status:

• Assign Immediately - this will publish the assignment as soon as you finish creating it. 
• Schedule - this will release it at the date and time you choose. 
• Save as Draft - this will create the assignment in Google Classroom without publishing it.

Auto Sync Scores:

•  If this is selected TeacherMade will automatically update the scores in Google Classroom anytime a student completes a worksheet.
•  If this is NOT selected, you can synchronize the scores by opening the assignment in TeacherMade, and clicking the ‘Sync Scores’ button.
• You can turn this on off if you want to control when scores are pushed to Google Classroom. 

Google Classroom Points: These are the points assigned to the new classwork in Google Classroom. When a student completes the activity  TeacherMade will scale the score when passing it to Google Classroom so it shows as you want in your gradebook.

        ► For Example: If the student scores 8 out of 10 points on the activity and the Google                 Classroom points is set to 100, the student's score in Google Classroom will be (8/10)x100             = 80 points 

Block Students not in the class: When blocking is turned ON, only students in the Google Classroom class for the assignment will be able to access it. 

► Recommendation: Keep this option ON to avoid potential issues with syncing scores and to prevent students from using a 3rd party email to access an assignment.  

General Settings: Choose the general settings that are available for every assignment type. 

After clicking "Save" your assignment will be created!
