How to use Rubrics in Google Classroom

By -

 


It’s that time of the year when teachers across schools are slaving over formulating assessments, grading students, giving feedback, writing reports. The task can become quite overwhelming. To ease your anxiety a little bit Google has rolled out a new feature on Google classroom.


Let me give you a sneak peek into this Beta feature (which fortunately is available to us on the GSuite package). You can now create and attach a rubric to an assignment as a guideline for students to refer back to when understanding their grades.


When starting/posting an assignment, rubrics can be created and made available to students. These guidelines can be reused, as well as exported and imported. The rubric will then appear for the teacher during the grading process. Here’s a video to explain the process to you better. 




The rubric tool can be used to store evidence of your work as well as to speed up the process of grading and giving feedback.


It’s time to work smart and make productive use of the technology available to us!

Children love games and stories, and what better way to engage your teen to be more  responsible for their learning than a game-based approach to learning? A little excitement  and competition can motivate learners to engage with what they are working on. Classcraft is an online fantasy-themed behaviour- and learning-management role-playing  game (also available as Chrome, Android, and iOS apps). It's cool graphics and avatars  make this a hit with grade 6 and up. When it comes to content delivery, Classcraft is built around narrative “quests” which  move students through a storyline, while at the same time asking them to complete  various activities, challenges, and/or lessons. Teacher-created Quests can be a unique way  to immerse students in learning or reviewing concepts, and teachers may find they're  worth the extra setup time. It makes things very interactive, you could start the class  with events, and use that as a warm-up activity, and present quizzes like battles.  N

                                                                  Excellent online teaching isn’t based on the ability to navigate a Zoom room or create a Google doc. Excellent teaching happens through teacher decision-making — how teachers decide to respond to and engage with students, select curriculum materials, organize learning and use communication strategies. In this session, we explore how teacher decisions in both planning and practice impact student learning in the online environment. ~ Dr Rhona Bondie Over the last year, schools have faced significant challenges to effective teaching and learning.

As a result, the whole teaching and learning community has learnt so much more about remote learning. Cambridge International has organised a schools conference through a series of programmes, where we will hear from
