| Grade | Description | Typical |
| 1 | Excellent | Completed with all working and marked |
| 2 | Good | Completed with working, but not marked |
| 3 | Satisfactory | Completed, without working |
| 4 | Cause for Concern | Approximately 50% complete |
| 5 | Intervention Required | Not attempted |
I have tried a number of different methods to record these grades on a daily basis:
- On paper, with a class roll
- On my laptop, walking around the room
- On my iPhone, using a database app – HanDBase, StoreIt, Tap Forms
I have had great difficulty with these for a variety of reasons. This year, I started to call students out to my desk at the front of the room, so I could record it on my laptop. This worked quite well, but I am keen to be moving around the room. Google Docs has just released a new mobile version for creating and editing documents and I think that the spreadsheets fit the bill!
It's easiest to set up the file on the desktop version. I haven't set it up the way that I normally do, so that it's quick to record grades. Google Spreadsheets are set up for iPhone (and other mobiles) so that it is very easy to add a row. So, I have a column for each student (in my old excel markbook, I had a row for each student). It's easy to have a worksheet for HW grades and another one for marks. The other great benefit is that it's all backed up instantly and automatically all the time!
