How Do I Assign an Activity?

Once you've created your class, it's time to start viewing and assigning activities. If your school or district has purchased a bundled curriculum, you can access it in the "Curriculum" section of your account on the left-hand side.

Assigning Activities

Once you are ready to assign to students, click the blue "Assign" button in the upper right-hand corner.

Scheduling Assignments

Upon clicking the Assign button, a new menu will pop up to adjust the parameters for when an assignment is given to students, as well as options to select which students to receive the activity.

On the left-side of the menu, you can select one or more classes to assign the activity to using the check boxes available.

Due Date and Time: Set the date that you would like the assignment to be due for students. The assignment will show up on this date on the Planner tab for teachers and the Assignments tab for students. You can also set the time that you'd like the assignment to be due. By default, the assignment will be due at midnight of the due date.

Assign To: Choose if you want to assign the activity to everyone enrolled in the class, to select groups of students, or to individual students. 

Assign Date: This is when it will be assigned to students and will show up on the students' Assignment tab. Use "Assign immediately" to have the assignment appear on the students' Assignment tab as soon as you have confirmed this information; or use "Assign on a specific date and time" to choose when you want the assignment to become available to students.

Lock Assignment: This option lets you choose whether you want students to submit the assignment only once (for example, an assessment) or have the ability to make corrections and resubmit the assignment multiple times.

• Unlocked means students can view and submit the assignment unlimited times before grading. 
• Locked means the assignment contents will be hidden for students after 1 submission. Students can view the assignment contents again after it has been graded. 

What's the difference between "Classwork" and "Assign?"

The Assign button is designed for students to work on an activity asynchronously or independently, much like a traditional homework assignment. The Classwork feature allows teacher to assign work synchronously and monitor their students' progress in realtime, including giving immediate feedback as students are progressing through a lesson.

Where do I find the assignment after it has been assigned?

After assigning to students, you can locate the assignment on your Planner tab. Click on the "Classes" tab on the left, select the class you just assigned to, and click the "Planner" icon (calendar button) on the left-side menu. You will see the assignment on your Planner tab sorted by the due date. Click on the assignment to view and grade student submissions. You also have the ability to edit or delete the assignment by using the three dot menu in the assignment's box. Click here to learn more about how to grade in Kiddom.
