Before you head out on summer vacation, spend a little bit of time closing up your Google classroom courses.

Archiving a Google Classroom course makes it read-only which prevents students from turning things in or posting comments in the class.

There is one super important thing you need to do BEFORE you archive your course!

It is essential that you RETURN all student assignments BEFORE you archive your class. This will transfer ownership of the assignment back to the student so that they aren’t filling up your Google Drive account.

Note: I do NOT recommend deleting courses. You never know when you might need to document your interactions and communications with students.

You can always view your archived courses if you need to access lesson material, re-use a post, or verify student records.
