Google classroom workflow

Google Classroom workflow using doctopus and goobric

Create a new spreadsheet:

In your Google Drive, create a new spreadsheet that will house all of your students grades and marking rubric scores. Give it an appropriate title (e.g. Grades 2016-2017)

Get the Doctopus Add-on

Click ‘Add-ons’ > ‘Get add-ons...’ and search for Doctopus. You only have to do this once. On any new spreadsheets you can just launch Doctopus directly from the Add-on menu.

Now select a Roster (Ingest from Google Classroom)

Click on add-ons and then click Doctopus and launch.
In the sidebar you will need to choose ‘Ingest Google CR assigment’.
This pulls in all the information and links from your assignment onto this handy spreadsheet.
Follow the instructions to choose your class and then the assignment then press the ‘Ingest Assignment’ button.

Goobric

Goobric allows you to use marking rubrics incredibly easily with Google Docs. It’s easier than ever with the new web app which displays the rubric at the top of the screen and allows you to flick between different student’s assignments at the touch of a button.

Create a marking rubric in Drive. (click on the link to see how it is set up or use mine as a template) [click here]

Create a new Spreadsheet in your Google Drive. Either copy and paste a marking rubric or create your own.
- Score values go in row 1 (Can be numeric or non-numeric)
- Skills/categories go in column 1
- Cell A1 must be blank

Click ‘Attach Goobric’

In your Doctopus spreadsheet, click ‘Attach Goobric’ in the sidebar.
If it’s your first time using Goobric you will have to click the links in Step 1 and 2 to install Goobric in Chrome and to authorise the web app. Again, this is a one-time only step.
Select the Goobric you designed earlier then press the ‘Attach Goobric to Assignment’ button.

Grading

Click on the goobric link (assess document) for the assignment you want to grade
The assignment will open and the rubric will be on top
You can click on the appropriate score for each category and then press ‘Submit’. This will append a timestamped rubric at the end of the students' Google Doc. You can come back and fill out the rubric again and submit as many as you need. Each time a new rubric will be pasted at the bottom - a great way to track progress. You also have the option to email the student. (See screenshots below).
