Google Apps som lärplattform – Del 1 Mappstruktur i Drive | Fler och fler skolor börjar använda Google Apps som plattform för kommunikation och kollaboration. Om man tidigare har jobbat i någon av de mer skolanpassade lärplattformarna saknar man kanske till en början kursspecifika sidor, inlämningsmappar kopplade till klasslistor och specifika fält för omdömen t.ex. i Google Apps. Men med lite tanke bakom mappstruktur, delningar och kommentarsfunktioner kan Google Drive tillsammans med de andra Google-tjänsterna fungera som en lärplattform med många fler möjligheter. Jag har utgått från en viss förkunskap i Google Drive i detta inlägg och fokuserar på hur själva mappstrukturen skulle kunna se ut för en lärare samt arbetsgången för att både nå ut med kursmaterial och ta emot elevarbeten. Det första förslaget på mappstruktur utgår från en klass. Det andra förslaget på mappstruktur nedan utgår från en tanke om effektivisering och tidsbesparing och passar bäst när man som lärare undervisar flera klasser/undervisningsgrupper i samma kurs.

10 ways I use Google Forms in my tablet classroom Image courtesy of TBR Mohamed El-Ashiry takes a look at ways of using Google Forms in the classroom. I am one of Google Forms‘ biggest fans! I have many reasons to love the service, and I use it in many different ways. While there have been many other advantages, the biggest advantage of using Google Forms in my classroom is being able to give students immediate feedback. In my classroom, students have had tablets (iPads) for two years now. 1. Student self-assessment is a very powerful tool in any classroom. 2. Peer-assessment also plays a critical role in any classroom. 3. In my classes, whenever I assign the students a major assessment task, I show them them the rubric that will be used to assess their work. 4. Google Forms has been a great way of documenting student merit points and rewards for positive behaviour. 5. Teachers are required to maintain evidence of any professional development they undertake. 6. I have created several reflection forms for students to use in my classroom.

Google Docs: Mark As Graded - Teacher Tech When assessing student work done in Google Docs it can be a challenge to know which student documents you have looked at and which ones you still need to look over. When looking in my Google Drive folder with student work I need a system for looking at the titles of the files in Google Drive to see what the status is. Karen Hogan (Click Here) came up with a system for modifying the title of the document to append it with “Graded” or another status. I have been playing around with Google Apps Script this week. Currently this is a script that is bound to the document. Try out the script by going to In order for this script to be installed on student documents it needs to be part of the template you provide students. Copy Document Make a copy of the template and delete all the text on the page. Share Document Distribute the template to the students through Google Classroom as “Make a copy for each student.”
Teacher Tech | Alice Keeler Google Classroom - Grade the Folder - Teacher Tech Something I am very curious about is if kids at the front or the end of the alphabet have an advantage when it comes to digital grading. Let’s be honest, we do not grade the top of stack of papers the same as the bottom. The stack of papers was not in any particular order though. I usually do not have time to give feedback to all students in one sitting. After making a copy of the template, go to Google Drive and locate the “Classroom” folder. The folder id is the sequence of numbers and letters in the URL after the “ Locate “Grade the folder” in the Add-On menu. This will open up a sidebar. This will prompt you for the folder ID. The bottom button in the sidebar will randomize the document list. A link to each document is in column C. Column A is where you can indicate the status of the document “graded,” “reviewed,” “incomplete,” “see teacher,” etc… Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2015
