Edit and Assign Google Docs Content for Google Classroom

If you are subscribed to a Savvas program that contains Google Docs™ content, then you can edit or assign this content to students in both Realize classes and in classes imported from Google Classroom™.

Each student in a class imported from Google Classroom™ receives a unique copy of the Google Doc, which can be changed and saved directly in the assignment viewer.
Students who are not a part of a Google Classroom™ can link their Google accounts to Realize and get their own editable copy of Google Doc assignment when the teacher that has assigned the Google Doc is linked to Google themselves.

You can find, edit, and assign Google Docs content by selecting a program using the steps below or by browsing all content.

Select Browse on the top menu bar, and then select the program.
In the program's Table of Contents, select a content item that has a Google Doc assignment.

Make your edits to the Google Doc. When finished, you can close out of the Google Doc by leaving the page; the content has saved automatically.
Locate the edited Google Doc. You can find it in My Library. When you're ready to assign the doc, press Assign.
In the Create Assignment box, enter a Title, Start date, Due date, and optionally add Instructions.
Enter the name of the class, group, or student by using smart search. Enter the first letter and scroll to the class, group, or student. Search for students using 'last, first' names.
