Google Sheets Basics – Making an Interactive Gradebook

The other weekend I presented at the Google for Education AppsEvents South Korea Summit.  I took advantage of this amazing networking opportunity and taught a small group of teachers how to use Google Sheets to create an interactive gradebook.   My session went well but I definitely learned a lot for the next time around.  Check it out below.  If you have any questions drop a comment and I’ll do my best to trouble shoot for you!

This presentation will teach you how to use Conditional Formatting and a handful of other features of Google Sheets (a cloud version of Excel) to create a gradebook.  Low or high grades will automatically pop out, absent marks get highlighted and best of all you can access it from any computer or device.  Its easily shareable for collaboration across a team of teachers too!

[…] Our next assignment was to create a practical Google Form. One that can be used as a teacher or supervisor in an assessment or evaluation. Below you’ll find my example that can be used to efficiently grade a student on reading comprehension.  Answering the form will automatically put it into a spreadsheet which can easily become your gradebook.
