Google Classroom™ Assignments and Marks

If your district has configured Google™ services integration, you can use Google Classroom Sync to import your assignments and marks from Google Classroom into ProgressBook.

To be able to sync assignments and marks from Google Classroom, you must have students in Google Classroom that match your students in GradeBook. The system matches first by student email address and then by student name; the matching process is not case sensitive. You cannot use this feature with class groups.

The following circumstances must also be true:

•Your system manager has assigned the correct format, known as numeric textbox, to the mark types you are using. This format indicates that you can enter a number into a field as the mark for an assignment. Mark type formats that let you select an item from a drop-down list or enter a checkmark cannot be used with Google Classroom Sync.

•On the Assignment Types screen, you have selected a Mark Type (e.g., Points) with the previously mentioned numeric textbox format for each assignment type you want to use when importing Google Classroom marks. This screen does not indicate whether the mark types you have selected use numeric textboxes, so if you are not sure, check with a system manager. If you are using traditional (Custom Setup 1) grading, you likely have the proper setup. If you are using standards-based (Custom Setup 2) grading, you may need more assistance in setup.

•If you are using standards-based (Custom Setup 2) grading, you are importing only assignments that do not have a default/overall assessment that needs its points divided among multiple assessments. Google Classroom provides only one overall score for each assignment.

Note: Do not use the Google Classroom Sync option on the Assignment Marks screen with a new assignment that has not been previously synced. For the initial sync, access the Google Classroom Sync screen using the link on the Class Dashboard. This will allow for resyncing.

Note: If you are working with a Class Group on the Class Dashboard, there is not a link to the Google Classroom Sync. If you are working with a Class Group on the Assignment Marks screen, the Class field on the Google Classroom Sync screen defaults to the first class in the group, and you will need to sync each class in the group individually.
