Allowing Students to Respond using a file from Google Drive

SKIES makes it easier for students to respond with Google, and also makes it easier for teachers to MONITOR Google work! SKIES will automatically give each student their own copy, so you DON’T have to worry about permissions. SKIES will also give you notifications, and let you see ALL of their work in one place. And you can still take advantage of SKIES' fast grading features!

Here are the steps on how to allow students to respond using a file from your Google Drive:

1. Create a simple text card with instructions, for example, “Use the Google doc to write an essay”

2. Click the box beside Responses.

3. Then click Google Template.

4. Choose the option: an existing Doc/Sheet/Slide

• • SKIES will prompt you to log in. Choose the Google account that has the document you need. NOTE: Make sure to allow pop-up in your browser since the documents will appear in a pop-up window.
  • Choose the document you want then click "Select".
  • The search bar, with some key words, can be helpful if you have trouble finding your document

• Teacher View: A preview of the Google file will appear on the Teacher Control Panel. Click CONTINUE at the bottom of the card to hide it.

• Student View: Students will see the logo of the Google file (instead of the big blue + button).

• SKIES automatically creates 1 copy of the file for each student, when they respond.
