How to Upload Homework to Google Classroom

Attaching an Assignment on a Computer

Go to https://classroom.google.com in a web browser. If you're not already signed in, you'll need to do so now.

Select your class from the list. This takes you to your class.

Click Classwork. You'll find your assignments here.

Select the assignment and click View assignment. Information about the assignment will appear, including the option to attach it. If you see an image with your name on it, that means your instructor has assigned a specific document for you to complete. Click the link and complete the assignment as indicated, and then skip to Step 9.

Click Add or create under "Your work." It's in the upper-right area of the page.

Select your homework assignment. If you need to create a new file for your assignment, skip this step and move to the next. If you already have a file that you need to submit, here's how you can do it: If the file is on your computer, select File, choose the file, and then click Add. For example, if you wrote a paper in Microsoft Word or scanned your homework as a PDF, you'd use this option. If the file is in your Google Drive, select that option, choose your file, and then click Add. If you need to attach a link because your file is on the web, select Link, enter the location, and then click Add. Click X if you want to remove an attached assignment.

Create a new file (if required). If you need to enter your work into a new Google app document, such as into Google Sheets, you can do so from the Add or create menu as well. Just select the Google app you want to use to create your assignment (Docs, Slides, Sheets, or Drawings). Then, click the new file and enter or paste your work into the file.

Add a comment (optional). If you want to add a private message along with your submission, type your message under "Private comments" below your assignment. Click Post to save it when you're finished.

Click Turn In and confirm. This submits your assignment and changes the status to "Turned in."
