Hate grading essays a little less with Google Forms

By
Watch this screencast that shows you how to create forms that will help you grade essays faster while removing some of the mystery students feel about subjective assessments. Also see how I use the iPad while I grade.

Here is a link to the Google Docs Template. You must be signed in with your Google account to view this.

    Thanks, great video! I actually use a script (not my own) that allows me to send an email directly from the spreadsheet, press one button and the students get all their grades at the same time. I'm having trouble sharing the link to the script, but you might try doing a search for "formemailer abreu."

    I took your idea, and used the AutoCrat script in the script gallery. It can take the form data, merge it into a Google Doc, and then email a PDF to the student and save a copy in your Google Drive.

    I replaced the Last Name field with username, and the AutoCrat script appends our domain to it.

Assignment #1: Introduce Yourself

By
As I mentioned in my previous post, the first thing I do in class is have my students write and deliver two minute introductions. Obviously it gives me a sense of their writing and presentation skills, but more importantly it allows me to know who they are. Here's the prompt I give them: Your first formal assignment is to compose and present a short introduction so I may better get to know you. I'm only looking for a two minute introduction. I would like you to type it out and then read it to the class. Make sure you save your work somewhere because I'm going to ask you to post it in your portfolio (more on that later). I'd like to get a sense of who you are and what your voice is. Not sure what to write? No problem ... here are some ideas to help get you started: What are you passionate about? What are some of your goals for the year? For your life? What is the most important physical object in your life? (take a photo of it and bring it to class) What is y
