What to do about old Classroom posts:
Many teachers are struggling with students submitting
work in Classroom long after the assignment has
passed. Here are some best practices.

● Stoplight Method (🔴🟡🟢 or 🛑⚠️🟩)

● Assignment Graveyard
● Late submission Form (see next slide)

It also helps to ...

● Understand the Classroom folder in Drive

● Turn off Classroom email notifications
● Set clear expectations with parents and students
Late Work Submissions
Require students to use form and
add to Google Classroom

● Easier to find assignments

● Fewer clicks
● All in one place
● Time stamped submissions
