Google Sheets has many features that make it ideal for curation and organization of information. Here are some ideas for educators to think about as they begin to use Google Sheets in the classroom.
1. Gradebook
Easily organize and access your grades anywhere with Google Sheets!
- Create graphs for individual students that you can share with students or parents.
- Use functions to figure out your final grades.
- Using conditional formating to visually organize your data.
2. Organize Resources
Since you can easily incorporate hyperlinks into a Google Sheet, you can gather resources for your students and keep it one central location. Using the formatting features and multiple sheets allow you to create a document that’s easy and clear for students to navigate.
3. Create Flashcards
Use Flippity.net to create flashcards or have students create their own to help them review. Take some time to explore Flippty, there are other programs there to try too!
4. Explore and Share Graphs
Students can collect data, determine how it should be organized in their sheet and then use the chart feature to create a graph that best fits their data. The graphs can then be easily shared on a class webpage, wiki or blog, where students can share their findings and conclusions with others.
5. Use Templates
There are a variety of templates already created for teachers to make your life a little easier! You’ll find gradebooks, attendance sheets, schedules and more in the template gallery.
