Grading Hacks that Will Save Lives (or at Least Save Time)
Limited Capacity filling up

As someone who believes time is best spent interacting with actual humans, Leann wants to show you all the best time-saving grading hacks using technology so you can focus on what matters - authentic student learning and building relationships with your students. When a teacher has written or typed, “Always capitalize i” and “Where is your source?” 150 times, she (or he!) may be too tired to comment on the actual content of the paper. In this session, we’ll start with how to create and share Google Doc templates in Classroom, then how to use Google Forms Auto-Grading Quizzes, then how to use the Permanent Clipboard Add-on to facilitate commenting on Google Docs; then we’ll move into the Doc Appender Add-On to grade student writing efficiently. Attendees of this session will follow along on their own devices. Laptops or Chromebooks are helpful, but not required. Attendees will also leave with access to step-by-step instructions for each tool.
This is a 2-hour session.
