Managing Lessons and Assignments
All the lessons and assignments you create appear as cards on your My Classwork page.
From here, you can preview, edit, send, or delete any item in your library.
Open My Classwork from Classroom → Classwork on the My Classes page.
Previewing a Lesson or Assignment
Clicking a card opens a preview so you can check the content before sharing.
Inside the preview you’ll typically see:
- The Title, Description, and Overview
- The attached file (such as a PDF)
- For assignments: points and grading details if you’ve set them
The preview is read-only — to make changes, use the edit option in the three-dot menu.
The Three-Dot Menu (⋯)
Each lesson or assignment card has a three-dot button near the top-right.
Clicking it opens a menu with the main actions you can perform.
1. Send to Room
Use this option to add the lesson or assignment to one or more classrooms.
When you click Send to Room:
- You’ll be taken to a classroom picker (your My Classes list in select mode).
- A list of your classrooms will appear.
- Select one or multiple classrooms.
- Click Add to Selected (or the confirm button shown) to send the item to those classes.
- For assignments, set a due date and time before confirming — students need a clear deadline.
Once sent, lessons appear in each classroom’s Lessons tab, and assignments appear in the Assignments tab.
2. Edit
Choose this option to update the content or settings of your lesson or assignment.
- An edit panel opens so you can change the details without leaving the page.
- You can modify:
- The uploaded or linked file
- Title, description, and overview
- (For assignments) maximum points, marking scheme, grading mode, and feedback preferences
After editing:
- Click Save to apply the changes
- Click Cancel to discard them
Important: Edits you make here also update the item in all classrooms where it has already been added. Change titles and files carefully if students may already be using them.
3. Delete
Select Delete to permanently remove the item from your library.
- A confirmation prompt appears so you don’t delete by accident.
- Once confirmed, the lesson or assignment is removed from:
- Your My Classwork library
- All classrooms where it has been added
This action cannot be undone. Double-check before deleting something that is still shared with students.
Deleting Many Items at Once
When you need to remove several lessons or assignments together, you don’t have to use the three-dot menu on each card.
- On the My Classwork page, click Select in the toolbar.
- Click each card you want to remove. Use Select all on page to choose everything on the page, or Clear to unselect.
- Click Delete, tick I understand this action cannot be undone, then confirm.
- When you’re finished, click Done to leave selection mode.
Like deleting a single item, this removes each selected item from My Classwork and from every classroom where it was added. This cannot be undone.
Tips for Managing Your Library
- Keep titles and descriptions clear and consistent so search and filters stay useful.
- Use filters and view options to locate lessons vs assignments quickly.
- Prefer Send to Room over re-uploading the same file for each class.
- Periodically review and update shared items — remember that edits apply everywhere the item is used.
- If you’re looking for personal teaching files rather than student-facing lessons or assignments, check Drive.
