By the end of this session, you will be able to…
• Identify at least two tools for grading Classroom assignments using a
rubric
• Set up and use the Doctopus Add-On for Google Sheets
• Set up and use the Goobric Extension to grade a Google Classroom
assignment.
Assumptions
1. You’re using Google Chrome.
2. You’re using Google Classroom for assignments.
3. You created and gave an assignment using “Make a Copy for Each
Student.”
I use Google Classroom because it…
• provides one space for announcements, resources, and assignments
• automagically creates individual documents for students
• is user-friendly, mobile-friendly, and third-party friendly
• integrates smoothly with Google Apps (Docs, Forms, etc.)
Features added in the last year:
• Move posts to the top
• Reuse posts
• Ask & answer a question
• Google Calendar integration
• “Share to Classroom” Chrome button
• Google Form integration
• Drafting posts
• Polling students
• Scheduling posts
Rubric Tools You Can Try
1. Orange Slice
1. Pros: Classroom integration, rubric on Doc, flexible
2. Cons: doesn’t move between Docs (slow), not pretty
2. JoeZoo Express
1. Pros: Classroom integration, rubric on Doc, multiple tools, pretty
2. Cons: doesn’t move between Docs (slow)
3. Google Forms
1. Pros: flexible, ease of use, use with paper, spreadsheet = Add-Ons = Power
2. Cons: no Classroom integration, no rubric on Doc
4. Doctopus & Goobric
1. Pros: moves between Docs, rubric on Doc (and email), ease of use (grading)
2. Cons: ease of use (setup), not very pretty
Why Doctopus & Goobric
1. Rubrics give students clear and concise feedback on their work,
allowing them to improve and teachers to adapt instruction.
2. Google Docs is a consistent, reliable platform that encourages
revision, collaboration, and feedback.
3. Goobric uses an interface that moves me from one student doc to
the next when I submit a grade.
4. Goobric’s interface works great on a touch screen (NOT mobile)
5. Goobric for Students allows students to self-assess and peer-assess

Goobric for Students Chrome extension
