When you are in a video conference like Google Hangouts Meet, a valuable tool to have is a digital interactive whiteboard. You can use this to give instruction, like a math teacher working out a problem, or it can be collaborative where everyone in the meeting is working together to brainstorm or design or complete an interactive activity.

Unfortunately Google Meet does not have a built-in whiteboard tool. However, there are many excellent whiteboard tools that can be used with Google Meet. For example, two great Google tools that can be use as digital whiteboard in Meet are Google's Chrome Canvas and Google Jamboard.

To show how to use these tools, and specifically how to use them inside of a Google Meet for teaching as well as collaborating with students, I recorded a short 8-minute video. See below for the video and related resource links.

Here is my quick 8-minute video on digital whiteboard tools you can use with Google Meet including Chrome Canvas and Google Jamboard.

Coming soon: Organize your gradebook into grading periods, such as quarters or semesters, and see overall grades for each.

The Student work page.

The grading tool.

The Grades page.

For Grades page instructions, go to View or update your gradebook.

You can download grades for one assignment or for all assignments in a class.

View student assignments

Before viewing a student's assignment, you can see the status of student work, and the number of students in each category.

1. Click the class.

2. At the top, click Classwork the assignment View assignment.

3. On the Student work page, you see the number and names of students grouped by work status:

Assigned-Work that students have to turn in, including missing or unsubmitted work

Turned in-Work that students turned in

Graded-Graded work you've returned

Returned-Ungraded (non-graded) work you've returned

(Optional) To see the students in a category, click Turned in, Assigned, Graded, or Returned.

4. To see a student's submission, on the left, click a student's name.

Import grades from a Google Forms quiz

To turn on grade importing, ensure that a Forms quiz is the only attachment on an assignment.

If you didn't turn on grade importing when you created the assignment, you can edit the assignment after the assignment is posted and completed by students. For details, go to Tips for using Forms quizzes.

Students can see their grade in Classroom and Forms.

Enter, review, or change grades

When you enter a grade, it syncs between the grading tool, the Grades page, and the Student work page.

As you grade assignments, you might notice that the work or grade status is color coded:

Red-Missing work.

Green-Turned in work or draft grade.

Black-Returned work.

Other colors are based on your class theme and don't indicate work or grade status.

3. To open and review any file the student attached, click the thumbnail.

4. (Optional) The default point value is 100. To change it, click the point value. Enter another value or select Ungraded Update.

Note: For decimal grades, Classroom supports 2 digits after the decimal point. If you enter more than 2 digits, the grade is rounded to the nearest 2-digit decimal form. For example, if you enter 88.725, it's rounded to 88.73.

5. Next to the student's name, enter the grade. The grade saves automatically.

6. Enter grades for any other students.

Students get their grades when you return their assignments. You can return assignments during another grading session.

The default grade denominator is 100, but it can be changed to any whole number greater than zero. You can change the grade denominator at any time. Changes to grade denominators only affect assignments that haven't been returned. Returned assignments maintain their original denominator.
