Google Sheets helps track data in Classroom. Google’s guide on Sheets in Classroom (https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/answer/6149237#sheets) provides an overview, but let’s explore tools.
Export grades to Sheets for analysis. In the Grades tab, click the gear icon, and select “Download CSV.” Open it in Sheets (sheets.google.com), then use filters to sort by low scores or late submissions. Add a column for notes, like “Needs extra help.”
For attendance, create a Sheet with columns for names and dates. Share a Google Form (forms.google.com) in Classwork for students to log attendance—responses auto-populate in Sheets. Use conditional formatting (Format > Conditional Formatting) to highlight absences in red.
To track project progress, create a Sheet with tasks and deadlines. Share it in Classwork with “View Only” access, or use Google Data Studio (datastudio.google.com) to create visual reports from your Sheet. Sheets and Forms make tracking in Classroom efficient.
