Google Classroom and Google Drive can get quite messy throughout the school year, and you want to get everything cleaned up and set up for success in the next school year.

Quick Tip of the Week

From Google Drive on the desktop, you can preview files without having to open them in a new tab by selecting the file and hitting “P” on the keyboard. This is great for checking information in a document without having to open and close new tabs.

Watch this 2-minute video to learn how!

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year

Below are six tips to help you clean up Google Classroom and prepare for the next school year.

Tip #1: Reflect on the Year

First things first, before you get all happy with the delete and archive buttons, I suggest you take the time to reflect so that you have a good idea of the files you want to keep, the lessons you want to improve and repeat, and those lessons and activities that totally bombed!

Reflection is a critical part of the lesson plan cycle.

Ideally, you want to reflect immediately following the lesson or activity.

However, teaching all day, lunch duty, bus duty, parent meetings, and staff development (among a million other things) doesn’t always give you the time you need for reflection. And given the fact that so many teachers just learned how to teach from home, there’s even more reason to reflect on the experience.

So take a breath, take some time to look through your Google Classroom assignments, their coordinating folders in Google Drive, and that pesky calendar.

What went well? What do you want to do differently next year?

Think about what went well PRE-COVID, and what went well during COVID-19 school closures. We need to be prepared for all possibilities.

Did you give too much or too little time for projects? How engaged were students at home?

Make some notes, digital or paper, before you get into cleaning mode!

Something else I want to encourage you to think about during this reflection time is how you used Google Classroom and G Suite tools in your classroom.

Did you use digital tools to substitute for what you did on paper? Or did you go further?

Did you take advantage of the collaborative features of G Suite? If so, how, and how can you improve? If not, why not?

If you have been uploading your PDF worksheets and Microsoft Office files into Google Classroom, did it transform the learning in any way? How might you move forward next year and take advantage of all Google has to offer?

If you want to learn more about using G Suite in your classroom, consider taking an online course, or even getting Google Certified!

Tips #2: Check Your “To Do” List in Google Classroom

Open up your “To Do” list in Google Classroom to see what work you need to review, grade, or return.

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year

You can view all your classes at once, or use the drop down at the top to filter this list by class.

Depending on how much clean up you have to do, you can approach this in a few different ways.

You can open up each assignment individually if you have several assignments left to grade and return. (Remember, the using the Control key on your keyboard when you click will open the page in a new window.)

You can also click on the three dots to “mark as reviewed.” Marking as reviewed is just a way of moving assignments to the “reviewed” tab so you can clearly see what is left to do. Students will not be affected.

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year


Tip #3: Clean Up Folders

One of the beautiful things about using Google Classroom is how it automagically connects to Google Drive and creates folders for each of your assignments.

Well, not that class has ended, you need to decide what to do with all of those folders and files.

Your earlier reflection should help you decide how to handle these files.

FIRST – DO NOT DELETE THE CLASSROOM FOLDER!

I repeat, DO NOT delete the Classroom folder from your Drive!

This folder is automatically created when you create your first class in Classroom and can be difficult to get back so leave it alone.

What you can do is move or delete the sub-folders and files that are contained in that Classroom folder.

This will be a personal preference kind of thing.

You can delete if you REALLY want to, but keep in mind that you have UNLIMITED storage in your Drive so you can be a pack rat if you want.

Personally, I like to curate exemplary work into a new folder to reference or share later.

I also like to create master folders for each school year, like “2018-2019 Classes.” You can create a folder like this in your Drive, or even as a sub-folder within the Classroom folder. Then just click and drag to move things around.

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year


Tip #4: What to Do with All Those Calendars!

Another fantastic feature of Google Classroom is the way it creates a Google Calendar for each of your classes and adds due dates!

But when you go to Google Calendar, your list of calendars is cluttered with classes that you don’t teach anymore.

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year

If this drives you crazy, you can delete those calendars from your list.

However, consider printing your class calendar to a PDF, or take a screenshot so you can reference your due dates when planning next year. (Tip: choose the schedule view so you can see the dates in a list.)

  1. Open your Google Calendar and go to the setting icon near the top-right and click “Settings.”
  2. Scroll down until you see your list of calendars on the left and click on the calendar you wish to delete.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Delete,” and then confirm you want to permanently delete.

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year

Tip #5: Set Up a Class Template for Next Year

Did you know you can copy an entire class in Google Classroom?

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year

When you do so, it will copy almost everything and save your assignments as drafts so you can easily reschedule.

This is a huge time-saver for the beginning of school, so why not create your ideal class template while everything is still fresh on the brain?

My advice is to make a copy of your class and edit it to be your “template,” that you can reuse year after year.

I have step-by-step directions for setting up your own class template in this post.

Tip #6: Archive Classes

Last, but certainly not least, you can archive your classes in Google Classroom.

This tip is last in the list because you want to make sure you have taken care of all of the things mentioned above before you are ready to archive.

To archive a class, go to your Google Classroom homepage and click on the three dots on the class card, then choose “Archive.”

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year

You will receive a quick warning about what this means.

Google Classroom Cleanup Tips for the End of the Year

Click “Archive” to confirm.

Archival is great because it moves the class out of your list, but it can always be accessed or restored if you need it.

Go to your main menu (three lines) and scroll down to the bottom and select “Archive” to see your archived classes. You can also copy, restore, or delete them from here.

AI-Powered Google for Education Updates (Part 2)

AI-Powered Google for Education Updates (Part 1)

In Part 1, I shared updates to Google Docs, Chromebooks, Chrome, and more. In part 2, we are taking a closer look at the updates to Google Classroom and some important privacy and safety updates.

Please note, most of these updates require a paid tier of Google for Education.

Google Classroom Practice Sets (coming soon)

Google Classroom Practice Sets are coming soon to those with the Teaching and Learning Upgrade or higher.

With practice sets, teachers can transform a PDF into interactive assignments and use the auto-grading tool to save time.


Practice sets also help teachers figure out which concepts need more instruction time and who could use extra support, giving them quick performance insights to shape future lesson plans.

*Related: Google Classroom Advanced Tips (Part 1)

All practice sets you create will be located in the practice sets library within Google Classroom (available from the main menu).

AI-Powered Google for Education Updates (Part 2)

Teachers can upload questions from a PDF or write their own questions and turn them into interactive learning experiences with immediate feedback for students.

The creation process looks very similar to Google Forms and Quizzes with similar question types, click-and-drag to reorder, etc.

Math teachers will appreciate the built-in math keyboard for special characters.

*Related: The Google Classroom Master Class Online Course

But practice sets use adaptive learning technology to help identify the relevant skills for the question and add hints and resources for students who need extra help.

Students open practice sets from the assignment inside Google Classroom.

As they work, auto-grading lets them know right away if their answer is correct. If they don’t get it the first time, they are offered hints and resources.

Teachers get a quick view of class performance and can see student work for every attempt they make per problem, and make data-informed instructional decisions.

At first look, the platform looks best for math and science questions that have one correct answer, and more difficult for subjective topics.

FREE Training on Practice Sets available here.

Interactive YouTube Questions (coming soon)

Soon, teachers will be able to add questions to a YouTube video and assign it inside of Google Classroom.

As the video plays, students can answer the questions, get real-time feedback on their responses and rewatch the video as needed.

Educators can receive data about student progress and see what questions were the most challenging for their students.

AI-Powered Google for Education Updates (Part 2)

Safety & Security Updates

ChromeOS (available now)

  • Block, warn, and report end-user actions
  • Clipboard and printing
  • Screen capture and sharing
  • Dynamic electronic privacy screen controls
  • Google security center integration

App Badges in Admin Console (available now)

We’re adding app badges, which will help admins evaluate important app information like app usage, developer information, and user reviews directly within Admin Console.

Context Aware Access Updates (coming soon)

Last year, Google launched context aware access which lets admins control which apps can be accessed based on context, like whether their device complies with an IT policy or whether they’re currently connected to the school wifi.

  • Set rules for apps that are accessing Workspace data via APIs.
  • Block managed Chrome browsers, and set data protection rule conditions.
  • Understand the number of users impacted before deploying new settings and make updates as needed

A Teacher’s Checklist for Fast, Effective FeedbackGrading and student feedback take up most of a teacher’s non-instructional time, and rightfully so: students (and their guardians) rely on teacher feedback to make meaningful improvements over the course of a school term.

Fast, efficient grading benefits both students and teachers alike.

But how can teachers speed up the grading process without sacrificing the quality of feedback for students?

This post is sponsored by Schoolytics.

A Teacher’s Checklist for Fast, Effective Feedback

Let’s break this big goal down into three smaller ones:

Goal #1: Spot blank assignments as the due date approaches

When it comes to missing and late assignments, it pays to be proactive. A friendly nudge before the deadline can get a student back on track and simplify your grading process.

If you’re looking for an easy way to do this, sign up for Schoolytics (it’s free for teachers) and use it to filter assignments by those with zero attachments. Then, return those blank assignments to students along with a note to the student and guardian.

A Teacher’s Checklist for Fast, Effective Feedback

Goal #2: Return on-time work within 1 day of the due date

Easier said than done, right?

This is likely the most challenging of the three goals, but the good news is that there’s (free!) technology that makes it easier to grade quickly and efficiently without adding to your workload.

Use Schoolytics to sort assignments by those that were submitted on time, then filter by the trailing week. This assignment list should be prioritized for grading. With a focused, finite list of assignments to return, grading becomes a bit less daunting!

A Teacher’s Checklist for Fast, Effective Feedback

Goal #3: Model a growth mindset for students

Keeping students encouraged and engaged is key to their success. Research shows that students who learn that intelligence and ability are malleable – rather than fixed – exhibit higher academic achievement and attempt more challenging tasks.

One of the simplest ways to keep students motivated is to help them set realistic goals.

If those goals follow the SMART framework, they should be achievable and time-bound, which means before long, you’ll be able to celebrate some wins! One way to do this is to use Schoolytics to send students high-fives based on assignment completion criteria that you select.

A Teacher’s Checklist for Fast, Effective Feedback

Grading student work quickly can be an added stressor for already-overworked teachers, but fast feedback is essential for helping students grow their knowledge and achieve their goals.

With goals in place and the right technology supporting you, fast grading gets a bit easier.

A Brand New Google Trends! (What's trending in Google Search?)

ShakeUpLearning 1.4K views March 22, 2023 10:09 am

Did you know you can open a side panel in Google Chrome? You can use the side panel to display your search results on the right side of the window while viewing pages from your search on the left. 

Note: You MUST search Google and open a search result before opening the side panel to see the search option.

This is much easier than going back and forth between tabs when searching. It's also great for student research!

(OH! and the side panel also allows you to save reading lists, view bookmarks, and your Google Search journeys.)

How to Set an Expiration Date on Google Drive Files

Shared files are great! But sometimes it can be difficult to find them again.
Google Drive shortcuts allow you to add a link to someone else's file and access it, search for it, and even put it in a folder in your Drive.
This is perfect for living documents that are growing and changing--like the index of Google Quick Tips!

How to Add a Shortcut to a File in Google Drive (and Organize it!)

ShakeUpLearning 9.1K views November 1, 2022 6:00 am

Smart Chips are becoming a part of all of your favorite Google applications. They give you a way to connect all of your "Google stuff" to your documents. This is a great way to improve communication and collaboration and save time! Each "chip" gives you a direct link to a person, file, or event with one-click access.

20 New Ways to Use Google ClassroomExpand Your Use of Google Classroom

Google Classroom can be used for so much more than just your traditional classroom LMS. This powerful tool can provide a space for teacher-to-teacher collaboration, professional learning and support, parent communication, and even special projects and enrichment classes for students. Consider these 20 New Ways to Use Google Classroom.

I have created this handy infographic with 20 New Ways to Use Google Classroom that goes beyond just the idea of using it for our everyday classrooms. I have also included details for each of the twenty ways in this blog post. Keep reading! I hope this will inspire you to think of other new ways to use Google Classroom.

I want you to understand how using Google Classroom outside of your Google Workspace domain works. It’s not a perfect system, but keep in mind that it was designed to protect students and your Google accounts.

I try not to get too technical on this blog, but it’s important to know there are certain domain settings that you will need to make some of the ideas in this post a reality. Discuss with the decision-makers at your school and/or your Google for Education administrator. If that happens to be you, here’s a support page to explain the new controls and settings in your admin console.

Listen to this article.

20 NEW Ways to Use Google Classroom

1. After School Programs

Students and teachers are involved in many after school programs that could utilize Google Classroom to share resources and improve communication and collaboration. Think of ways this could be used in programs both in and outside of your own schools like the YMCA, tutoring programs, community sports, and libraries.

2. SAT/ACT Study Groups

When it comes time to prepare for the SAT and ACT, often times students will form study groups across the area or region. Think of how awesome it would be to use Google Classroom to share resources, flashcards, tips, practice tests, and feedback through the Google Classroom platform.

3. Clubs and Organizations

We can also use Google Classroom to help connect and share resources within our school clubs and organizations. What about a Student Council Class within Google Classroom? Or one for the Robotics Club, National Honor Society, Made with Code, Girls/Boys Scouts, etc. And think about using it for your adult organizations as well like church groups, alumni associations, intramural teams, and philanthropic organizations.

4. Invite Outside Experts into Your Class

Wouldn’t it be great to give students an authentic audience? What if you invited an outside expert into your special class project in Google Classroom? They could give meaningful feedback and connect and share with your students.

5. Co-Teach and Collaborate Across the Globe

Google Classroom allows you to add up to 20 teachers to one class. This means we can add co-teachers from across the hall OR across the globe. How fun would it be to teach and collaborate with another teacher on another continent?!!! Consider ways you can bring the world to your students by co-teaching with a teacher and group of students in another country.

6. Create a Class for Learning Challenges

As challenge-based learning grows in popularity, let’s think of ways that we can use Google Classroom to allow students and teachers to, “sign-up,” for optional challenges by joining a Google Classroom Class designed to detail the challenge, provide resources, and allow the user to submit their evidence for meeting the challenge.

7. Badging Systems

Digital Badging as become a fun way for teachers and students to show off their accomplishments. Organizing and tracking badges could easily be managed through Google Classroom. The details of the assignment could be shared through Classroom as well as offer a way for users to submit their evidence. Badging has become particularly popular for encouraging teachers to learn new tech skills. Be sure you check out these blog posts to learn more about how some districts are using badges for professional learning.


8. Enrichment/Early Finisher (Choice)

Need a plan for your early finishers? Try creating a class with enrichment assignments to support those students. Incorporating choice and choice boards is a great way to give students ownership and empower your learners.

9. Book Study/Lit Circles

It seems like educators are always doing book studies, whether that is a study within our own district or cross-collaborating with educators in other areas. Google Classroom would be a great way to communication, collaborate, share reflections and resources, and stay on top of reading deadlines. Of course, Google Classroom would also make a great tool for the lit circles within our classes and on our campus. Librarians and Media Specialists could also facilitate these on a campus level for outside reading.

10. Parent Information Classes

Streamlining the communication between the school and the parents can be a challenge, to say the least. We hold informational parent meetings about all kinds of initiatives like the rollout of a 1:1 program, opening a new school, bonds, transition to middle or high school, AP courses, etc. This list could go on and on. What if we supplemented these types of meetings with online classes for parents through Google Classroom? We can add videos, information, permission slips, resources, etc. inside the Google Classroom Class.


11. Online Professional Learning

One of the most exciting ways that we can use Google Classroom, especially outside consultants and coaches like myself, is to offer online professional learning courses. I am #superexcited to start working on this idea! Now that I can invite teachers to join my Google Classroom Classes, I’m looking forward to offering new ways to connect and learn together!

12. Collaborate with Outside Consultants and Coaches

Many schools and districts will contract with outside consultants and instructional coaches to offer support and training for their teachers. Using Google Classroom should be a no-brainer for collaboration and learning between teachers and outside consultants. This way consultants can answer questions, share new and updated resources, and continue to collaborate with schools beyond a one-and-done workshop.

13. Replace or Supplement Meetings

Whether it’s a faculty meeting, department meeting, team meeting, or committee meetings, Google Classroom can offer a way to sometimes replace meetings or allow you to flip informational meetings. By recording informational videos and posting to Google Classroom, some meetings can be replaced altogether. Other types of groups that meet regularly can use Google Classroom to continue the conversation asynchronously, share important resources, docs, links, etc. Consider ways that you can use Google Classroom to streamline your meetings, become more efficient, and improve communication.

14. Outside Conferences and Workshops

Each Google Classroom Class allows for up to 1000 students. These means that Google Classroom could be used to provide supplemental information, resources, and follow-up for outside conference and workshops. Educators could share notes, links to presentations, and continue to collaborate beyond the conference or workshop.

15. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)

Many schools have adopted Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) as a way of fostering collaborative learning among groups of educators. Each community could easily create their own Google Classroom Class to share ideas, reflections, resources and connect in new ways.

16. Google Educator Groups (GEGs)

Are you a member of a Google Educator Group (Google+ Communities)? You should be! GEGs are Google+ communities that connect you with other Google using educators in your area. I am co-leader of the GEG for North Texas (GEG-NORTX). We have face-to-face events, meet-ups, and even offer some learning opportunities via Google Hangouts. Using Google Classroom we could extend that connect and learning and offer a one-stop-shop for resources and collaboration.

17. Certification Study Groups

Whether you are studying for the Google Certified Educator exams or preparing for other teaching certification exams, Google Classroom offers a great way to support your studies. Inside Google Classroom, you can share study materials, ask questions, and support each other as you prepare to master your certification exams.

18. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC)

As mentioned above, you can have as many 1000 students enrolled in one class in Google Classroom. MOOC’s are usually free online courses offered by universities with no limit on enrollment. With Google Classroom, free, open online courses can be created and shared. I haven’t seen this done yet, but I believe it is a possibility with the new open features of Google Classroom.

19. Face-to-Face PD Follow Up

One of the biggest complaints about professional development is the lack of follow-up. Google Classroom would be a great way to follow-up on professional learning and workshops. This is an excellent way to talk about classroom implementation and share examples, reflections on what worked and what didn’t, and continue the learning beyond the workshop.

20. New Teacher Training

My first year of teaching was the hardest–by far! Most schools offer new teacher training and orientation for teachers that are new to the profession or new to the district to learn the ins and outs of procedures, tools available, and school initiatives. Let’s leverage Google Classroom to deliver some of the new teacher training, offer support and guidance, and a way for new teachers to connect with each other.
