To get started, you'll need to have a Google account and a Schoology account. This is a straightforward step that requires minimal setup. The process is also seamless if you're already using Google Drive to store your files.

Setting Up Google Drive Integration
To set up Google Drive integration with Schoology, start by installing the Google Drive Assignments app from the Schoology app store. This app is only available through the web version, and the mobile version is expected to be ready by fall 2017.

You'll find the app in the App Center, where you can click on "Google Drive Assignments" and then "Install LTI App." Be sure to read the information about installing the app and click "I Agree" to proceed.
Select the courses you want to use the app in, and then choose "Course admins only." Once installed, you should see a green bar pop up at the top of the screen letting you know your changes have been saved.
Now, your assignment will show up on your course page, looking different from other assignments. Click on the assignment to see the difference.
To make copies of Google Drive documents for students, you'll need to attach a Google document to a Schoology assignment. This will create a corresponding Google Drive folder called "Schoology Google Drive Assignments."

Managing Assignments and Resources
Connecting Google Drive to Schoology is a game-changer for teachers and students alike. You can make copies of Google Drive documents for students from within a Schoology assignment, and Schoology will handle the sharing permissions between each student and teacher.
To start, you'll need to install the Google Drive Assignments app from the Schoology app store. This is a one-time step that will allow you to access your Google Drive resources within Schoology.
Once you've installed the app, navigate to the course where you want to assign something and click "Add Materials" and then "Add Assignment". In the "Create Assignment" window, add the name of the assignment, a description, due date, and other settings.
You can then click "Google Drive Assignments" next to "Assign from App" to connect your Google Drive account. If you have multiple Google accounts, make sure to sign in to the one where the resource is located.
When you connect your Google account, Schoology will ask for permission to access your Google Drive account. Click "Allow" to grant access.
After connecting your Google account, you'll be able to navigate to the resource you want to assign. If you have a lot of files in your Google account, use the search bar to quickly find the one you need.
To ensure you have the correct file, click "view" next to the file and it will open in a pop-up window. This is especially helpful if you have files with similar names.

Once you've selected the correct file, Schoology will create a copy for each student. Make sure all the assignment settings are correct, and hit "Create".
When you open the assignment, you'll have three tabs: Assignment, In Progress, and Submissions. The Assignment tab houses the assignment information and Google Drive file.
The In Progress tab allows you to check up on student progress without leaving Schoology. You can see exactly how much they have accomplished, making it easier to monitor student progress during the assignment.
