As schools transitioned to either a hybrid or fully-remote learning schedule, more and more students and teachers had to adjust to the increased use of apps like Google Classroom. Here at AHS, almost all classes at this point are using Google Classroom and most of our assignments have to be turned in virtually. So, we have learned how to submit our homework to Google Classroom as PDF's. It's actually easier than you may think.
