Walkthrough

If Google Classroom is already part of your workflow, connect it so assignments, submissions, feedback, and grades can move between the two systems. Students stay in Google Classroom; the review workflow stays in TA39.

Setup, in three steps:

  1. Sign in to the Google account that's tied to your class. Authorize TA39 access.
  2. The connected classes appear. Select the class that will be used for feedback.
  3. Existing assignments from Google Classroom are visible. Create a new TA39 assignment linked to a Google Classroom assignment, with the rubric and template you prepared earlier.

In most cases, this is a one-time setup. If your school requires admin-level approval to enable the integration, that approval needs to be in place first.

From the student side, almost nothing changes. The assignment appears in Google Classroom, the submission happens there, and the process looks the way it already looks to them. That's the point — student experience stays familiar while the teacher workflow gets more efficient.

Submissions sync automatically. No downloads, no renames, no manual uploads. When students submit in Classroom, the work appears in your TA39 assignment as Received.

Generate, review, post. From here the workflow is the same as before: generate feedback, review it carefully, adapt where needed, decide what students receive. When you post grades and feedback, they return to the Google Classroom gradebook. Students see the feedback in the same place they submitted the work.

Not on Google Classroom? The standalone upload workflow from Run Your First Assignment works for any school. The next step shows the Canvas equivalent if your school uses that instead.

If your school uses Canvas instead of Google Classroom, Connect Canvas LMS covers the same setup pattern.
