Work on PDFs and hand in

Some people will find it easier to print out sheets and work on them by hand - you can then scan or phtograph them to hand in. However, if you would like to work on the sheet online, there are ways to do this.

Here's an easy way to work on PDFs, eg maths sheets then hand them in.
YouTube videos below, depending on which device you are working on.

How do I edit a piece of work that I have already added? (iPad)

1. Tap on the assignment
2. Swipe up "Your Work" from the bottom
3. Tap the work to open it
4. Use the pen tool to add to it then press "save"

How can I hand in more than one piece of work?

• Under "Your work", click "Add or create" to add your work but don't click "Hand in".
• "Hand in" means you have finished the whole assignment.
• Your teacher can see the work you have added - then you can click "Add or create" again to add more work.
• (If you do click "Hand in" too early, the button changes to "Unsubmit" which you can click and then you will be able to add more work.) I hope that helps.

How do we contact the teacher?

• In Google Classroom, click on "Classwork"
• Select a particular assignment and click "View assignment"
• On the right underneat "Your work" there is a place to type a "prive message" (or swipe up "Your work" if  you are on the iPad app)
• Teachers are monitoring and answering these messages

How do I find my way round Google Classroom?
