Google Classroom


What did you create, and why?

I created classes for each period and used all types of activities from assignments to discussion posts to announcements.


•What went well for you?

It was easy to create a central place for students to access their coursework in Classroom. Students had a central place to find out what the tasks were that needed to be completed for each class.

•What was challenging?

The grading system was the biggest challenge. Grading in classroom and to Skyward was time consuming.


•What did you enjoy?

I enjoyed learning how to use Doctopus and Goobric. I was able to create a spreadsheet with Doctopus, ingest all students assignments, and grade them with a rubric that was automatically sent to their gmail when completed. It was still time consuming for grading late work.

•What ideas do you have for using this tool with your students, grade level, staff or to communicate with families?

This is great for an assignment where you have a clear grading rubric and are looking to collaborate with colleagues to score student work.
