Yesterday afternoon a buddy texted me to ask if there was a approach to examine to see if college students have checked out bulletins or assignments in Google Classroom. Sadly, there is not a “learn receipt” sort of characteristic constructed into Google Classroom. That does not imply all hope is misplaced for figuring out whether or not or not college students acknowledge that they’ve assignments or bulletins to learn in Google Classroom. Here is what I have been doing and recommending to buddies and colleagues who ask.

To guarantee that my college students are acknowledging that they’ve new assignments and bulletins in Google Classroom I have been sending out group emails that merely say, “You’ve got a brand new task, please examine Google Classroom. Please let me know that you’ve got learn this electronic mail.” However I do not depart it at that. Earlier than I ship out the e-mail I guarantee that I’ve enabled “request learn receipt” within the message settings. The screenshot beneath exhibits you the place that possibility is discovered. By having learn receipt enabled I can see if a scholar has opened the e-mail even when she or he would not truly reply to me.

For those who do not see the Learn Receipt possibility in your G Suite for Schooling account, ask your area administrator if she or he can flip it on. Area directors can flip it on for all customers or for particular person customers.
