I Need a Digital Turn-in Bin!!!

Using Google Forms to Collect Digital Assignments

I need a Digital Turn in Bin!

As we utilize technology more and more in the classroom we can sometimes find our inboxes being slammed with student work that we don't really want in our inboxes.  Students using google docs often "share assignments" directly with their teacher and they move on with their day. Meanwhile, teachers find themselves receiving digital work in ways that can seem difficult to manage.  It is for this reason that I am suggesting the creation of a digital turn in bin!

How to make it happen:

The first step in creating a digital turn in location for your students is to create a simple google form.  The form should match the layout of the image on the right.  It is useful to collect period, name, and assignment name (for your own) sorting purposes.

The second step is teaching your students how to share a link to their work.  See the directions I gave my students to understand how kids could submit the assignments: Link for explanation

Please let me know if you have any questions about how this works as a turn in tool.  It makes grading very easy because all the student work is already in a spreadsheet just waiting for you to add a column for grades.

Let me know if you want help making this happen in your classroom!
