Google Classroom: Submit a Screenshot

I have been 1:1 almost my entire teaching career. One of my go to's is to have students take screenshots and submit them. This not only holds students accountable for what they have been working on during the period it helps me to provide help and feedback if students need it. submit a screenshot

Google Classroom: Submit a Screenshot

As a teacher, you know how important it is to be able to see and assess your students’ digital work. However, when students are working on digital projects that are not stored in Google Drive, it can be challenging to view and grade their work. That’s where screenshots come in. By taking screenshots of their digital work and submitting them in Google Classroom, students can easily share their work with you and you can assess it more effectively.

Have Students Take Screenshots

Taking screenshots is a simple process that can be done on most devices, including computers, laptops, and smartphones. The screenshot captures an image of the work that the student has done, allowing you to see exactly what they have created.

Screenshots in Google Classroom

When students submit their screenshots in Google Classroom, they provide you with a convenient and organized way to view and grade their work. You can easily see all of the students’ submissions in one place, making it easier to keep track of their progress and provide feedback.

In addition, screenshots also provide students with a record of their work. By taking screenshots and submitting them in Google Classroom, students can keep a record of their digital projects and refer back to them later if needed.

Another benefit of using screenshots in the digital classroom is that it allows you to assess a wider range of digital projects and activities. Whether students are working on interactive websites, digital art projects, or video presentations, taking screenshots and submitting them in Google Classroom provides you with a way to see and assess their work.

Finally, using screenshots in the digital classroom helps to promote digital literacy and critical thinking skills. By taking screenshots and submitting their work in Google Classroom, students are learning how to effectively present and share their digital work with others.

Folder of Screenshots

In Google Classroom, after clicking on the assignment title in the Stream, there is a folder icon that opens up that assignment in Google Drive. Any files submitted to Google Classroom for that assignment are located in that Google Drive folder. This can be a much nicer way to view the screenshots than clicking on each student individually. Try pressing P for preview within Google Drive to preview the screenshots without having to load up each one.

Add Images from Drive

DriveSlides, of course, puts everyone’s screenshots all together into one Google Slides. Not that helpful for giving individual feedback. If you do need to give a student individual feedback on their particular screenshots you may want to try this workflow.

  • Control T – New tab
  • http://slides.google.com/create
  • Insert->Image->Google Drive
  • Insert comments or add additional slides with helpful feedback.
  • Tip: Try WebCam Record to video capture your feedback and add that to one of the slides.
  • Use the AnyoneCanView Chrome extension to automatically change the sharing permissions and copy the link to your clipboard.
  • Paste the link to the Google Slides in the Private Comments of Google Classroom.
