What is Scripting?
- Google Scripts take the power of Google Drive and amplify it by automating tasks.
- You use scripts in specific instances to get a desired outcome.
- Most scripts are run through Google Spreadsheets, but can control Docs, Slides, Spreadsheets, Drawings, and Sites
Doctopus and Goobric
Other than the ridiculous names, these two scripts are game changers.
- Doctopus takes a template you create and copies it to student accounts. You name it, you have control of it, and you can even cut off editing at a specific time.
- Goobric is a Chrome add-on that then lets you embed a rubric into each students finished document. It also records the scores in the Doctopus spreadsheet.
Steps:
- Start with a Google Doc template (note sheet, pre-writing guide, blank document with a rubric, etc.)
- Create a spreadsheet that includes Google account (studentid@guhsd.net)
- Doctopus will generate a copy of the template for each student
- Teacher owns doc and can monitor progress
- Additonally grading can be done using Goobric
- When finished, give students ownership of the documents
