math teacher Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Ok- I know how to make as assessment in Google Forms and upload to google classroom. What I cannot figure out is how to take an existing pdf (think math with pictures/models) and put it in classroom so that my students can type in it and turn it in digitally. If I just upload from my drive into classroom, students cannot type in it-is that correct? I'll take any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I believe that is correct. One option is to upload the pdf, they do the work in a notebook or print the pdf and write on there, then they take a picture and upload that to classroom. One teacher I work with is looking at Goformative.com just so she could use Kuta worksheets and then it creates a space for the kids to type in their answers.

LJPPKGFGSC Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 from a math teacher to Math teacher - Hi! I do not know anything about Google Classroom. But goformative is really fun. You can upload a PDF, and then click near the question (on a PDF) and it creates a fillable form. You can make many types of questions - multiple choice, short answer. Even with the free version, you can type math into the questions (but not into the answers without the paid version). I know that it must integrate with Google Classroom, you can sign in automatically with a gmail acccount. If you are watching the kids work, you can see their answers as they type and talk to them through your virtual classroom. I am 100% most certainly paying for Formative and using it next year even when we meet in person again. You can also set the background of a slide (in Google Slides) as your worksheet. And then add text boxes for the kids to type their answers. I know how to do it in PowerPoint. It should be the similar in Google Slides. Reply if that helps. There is a math teacher group on Facebook where teachers are talking about all these issues. It is for the curriculum from TPT that I use. If you have anything from Gina (ATA), then you know how good her stuff is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's tutorials on youtube that will show you how to do it. Sometimes it's just faster to retype the document. Make sure that when you assign it in Google Classroom that you select the make a copy for every student box. Otherwise they'll all be typing on the same document. That's always a good time. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
math teacher Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 We have tried using the tutorials from youtube, but something's not working. I think my best option will just be to create an answer document in forms to go with each page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're BYOD, and haven't set up required software that's harder. We're 1:1, but we have nothing to make the process easy. I'm at home trying to figure it out. I have 2 students who are doing their work online. The rest are paper packets. This is ridiculous for 2 students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is the tutorial I used when I trialed it. I've not used it in class though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1QynnNxGZc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3lYBfmZylkK0nzWacufyPJHKU3RqKEU_QPZvQHDV8yIyIRcTI6qvKY4pI&app=desktop Often if I have a table or picture from a pdf that I want to insert, I'll use the snipping tool feature (or equivalent) to convert the image to a jpg. Then the image can be inserted into the document. If the original image is clear you can often get a usable jpg this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My high schooler opens documents from her GC using Kami, types on them and submits that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
