Google Activity Widget

Google Activity Widget

The Google activity widget requires Google Drive integration setup and Google ID within the Users application. Select here ​​​​​​​to learn more.

Then, teachers can now assign Google documents as an activity using the Google activity widget.

Create a new assignment by one of the following methods:

• From the Frog bar select the blue + symbol and then select the New assignment button
• From the Timeline select the New assignment button
• Launch the Assignment manager application and select the New assignment button.

The New assignment wizard will open and you will need to go through and complete the Details section ahead of proceeding to the Activities section.

Note: A warning message will be displayed listing any students assigned to receive the homework but have not had a Google ID entered. 

After selecting the Google activity widget, you will be asked to select a Google document. Select the FrogDrive button.  

A FrogDrive pop up window will display the Documents and Google Drive areas. Only Google file types will appear within the Documents area, whereas within the Google Drive area any non-Google document will be greyed out.

The next step is to decide how the assignment is to be worked on. 

The options include:

• Everyone collaborates - The Google document will be shared with edit access to all students assigned. This means that a group of students can work collaboratively on a Google document for submission. Please be aware though, in this type of scenario one student could overwrite another student’s input as all students will have edit access
• Everyone gets their own copy - A copy of the Google document will be created for each student assigned the piece of homework to work on individually.
