Question: Mr. Jones is keen to move to a paperless class as he finds the process of managing 150 paper based assignments time consuming. How will shifting to Classroom help?
- When a teacher sets an assignment in Classroom, email notifications and the class Stream ensure students don’t need to be constantly reminded
- Teachers can define answers when they set assignments to enable auto-grading
- When a student completes an assignment, Classroom automatically emails all related documents to peers in their class for review
- Teachers can grade and comment on assignments directly in Classroom and students will immediately receive email notifications to view their scores
- Students can exchange messages with each other to help clear up any assignment misunderstanding without having to ask their teacher
Explanation
Google Classroom reduces paper handling by organizing assignment distribution, submission, grading, and feedback in one place. The Stream helps surface assignment updates so reminders are easier to manage. Quiz assignments can use Google Forms with an answer key to support automatic grading for supported question types. Teachers can use the grading workflow in Classroom to add grades, leave feedback, and return work so results are visible through Classroom notifications.
Why the other options are incorrect
Peer document emailing is not an automatic Classroom workflow for completed assignments.
Student messaging does not replace the teacher’s role in clarifying assignment requirements.
