Print Files from Google Drive via Google Classroom
Google Classroom stores all course materials and student submissions in Google Drive folders. Teachers who need paper copies of worksheets, assignments, or student work can use the Docs to PDF extension to convert and print those files directly from the associated Drive folders without downloading each document manually.
Finding Classroom files in Drive
Every Google Classroom course creates a folder in your Google Drive called 'Classroom'. Inside are subfolders for each course, and within those are folders for each assignment. Navigate to the specific assignment folder in Drive, select the files you want to print, and run the extension.
Printing student submissions for grading
When students submit Google Docs through Classroom, their files appear in the assignment subfolder in Drive. Open that folder, select all submission documents, and convert them to PDF with the extension. Print the batch to have paper copies for annotation and grading.
Printing course materials for distribution
For worksheets, handouts, and reading materials you want to distribute as printed copies, store the originals in your Classroom Drive folder, then batch-convert and print as needed. This keeps your master copies in Drive and your printed copies consistent with the digital versions.
