Google Sheets Add-on
When using a rubric for grading projects, I often wondered if there was an easier way. I would have a stack of printed rubrics, and shuffled those around with me until all projects were graded. Now that I am out of the classroom, I have discovered a Google Sheets Add-on that solves the problem and makes a teacher's life easier. Online Rubric is a Google Sheet add-on that enables you to create rubrics, enter scores, and email scores to parents all from one place.
To add Online Rubric simply,
1. Go to Google Sheets
2. Select Add-ons
3. Search and select Online Rubrics
4. Add

Code Lessons

If you haven't signed up to do a coding lesson with Karen, I would highly recommend it! She worked with the students in programming their Automatic Realization Machines (the student's arm) to color squares on graph paper using simple directions. Her method was very hands on and engaging. My students were absolutely captivated the entire time they were working on their programs with pen and paper. They even groaned when asking to clean up so we could move on to the next activity. This is lesson is perfect for understanding the importance of following step by step directions in and outside the computer world. Sign up now!
