Grading Google Classroom Assignments with Doctopus and Goobric

I've been using the Google Classroom daily and my flow is improving as a result. Recently, a new Doctopus update allows teachers to 'ingest' assignments given via Google Classroom and then grade those assignments using Goobric. For me, it's been a game changer.

I'm more efficient with my grading (of written work!), I'm thinking more critically about the best way to assess different types of student work and I'm actually, kind of, enjoying it! The video above is one of two that I put together to share with teachers who want to use Doctopus and Goobric, together with the Classroom, to grade different types of assignments. I hope it helps!

I add the link to the form inside the
the classroom assignment. This way the kids
usually don't forget to complete the form! 

It went like this: Google Classroom assigned a 'copy to all students,' the doc included a visit to Brainpop for video frontload and activity which was screenshotted (is that a word?) into the Classroom assigned doc. 

Khan Academy even has an area 

show your work! 

Also in that same document was a link to a Google form for the review activity, which we graded with Flubaroo. (37 responses graded in under two minutes) I've been burying the link to my forms in the original Classroom handout. This way the students are always working inside the original assignment. Even if they click on the link, they have to return to the original doc to complete the rest of the activity. 

For the students who completed the activity with time to spare, a link to extension activities from Khan Academy was also clickable inside the document.  

This is a screenshot of Goobric in action.

We used Doctobus to 'ingest' this assignment from Google classroom and Goobric (a test rubric was used) to grade the assignment! 

Hopefully, we can create, distribute and grade assignments with more efficiency which will allow more time for exploring ways to keep challenging and engaging our kids every day!
