Because we understand your need to hone in on each of your students' progress, we've compiled an easy-to-read, convenient way to measure your students' typing, coding, and digital literacy stats.
To access your Gradebooks, first, select your Class from the menu on the left.
Then, select the classroom you'd like to view the Gradebooks for.
Now, select the Gradebooks tab from the top.
Select Gradebooks.
From the drop-down menus on the left hand side, you'll be able to select which curriculum you'd like to see. After you've selected, your report will load automatically.
Keyboarding Reports
Depending on what you've selected, you'll see a pictograph of all the units and worlds your student or students have completed. In addition, you'll further be able to work with your data by looking at the menu on the right-hand side:
Report Filter: This will allow you to select a summary report (what you're currently viewing) or a detailed report (as in the image below). A detailed report will give you more granular information on your students' overall progress in the curriculum. *Note: You'll also notice a printer icon next to the download icon - you can print this directly from your browser.
Unit Filter: This will allow you to limit your view to certain units so the report doesn't spread across the entire page.
Legend: You'll see a legend of icons that will appear as follows:
All 3 Stars: Student typed accurately and quickly to earn 3 available stars in their main lesson. This is above grade-level expectations.
All 2 Stars: Student typed accurately and quickly to earn 2 available stars in their main lesson. This is at grade-level expectations.
Completed: Student has only earned 1 out of the 3 available stars in their lesson. They are typically working at one-grade level below their current grade-level expectations.
Working: Indicates that a student is working on the practice activities and either has not done or passed the main lesson with one star as yet. Stay tuned!
Flagged for Problem: Indicates that a student has finished the lesson with less than 70% accuracy. You may want to have a conversation with the student to see why this is happening and suggest possible solutions. If the words per minute (WPM) expectation is too difficult for the student, you may want to review the student's WPM scores and modify this setting to something not too easy or difficult for the student.
Download Report: The little blue paper icon will allow you to download your report as a CSV file.
It's important to know that, should you be dissatisfied with your students' progress, or simply want to see a more structured view of a certain lesson, select the star that is in the correct student row and world/lesson column:
From here, you'll have a layout that looks like this:
Title: Title of the lesson.
Stars: Stars that the student has earned.
No. of Attempts: How many times the student has attempted the lesson.
Three-Peat Badge: If a student has attempted the lesson 3 times, they will have a badge.
Speed Badge: If a student has met the required WPM, they will earn a speed badge.
Avg. Accuracy: The student's accuracy score on the lesson.
Avg. WPM: The average WPM score on the lesson.
Completed On: The date the lesson was completed.
Last Typed: The last time the student has accessed this lesson.
Red X: Should you want to delete this lesson and make your student redo it, select this X. This is a great option if they haven't quite done their best.
Grading Digital Literacy Reports
Certain curriculums will often require a teacher to grade a submission and offer a score. Because of this, you will need to know how to find a student's submissions. If your students have submitted an assignment that day, you will the the icon on your Dashboard for your class, as well as what is completed and what is ungraded. You may view the progress for students' completed assignements by simply selecting Gradebooks > selecting the curriculum you'd like to see. Howecer, "ungraded" parts will indicate the submissions that need grading before the student can move on, while Completed will let you know what your students have done that may not need your attention.
To grade an assignment, you'll need to select the Ungraded section. You'll see a number indicating how many assignments you'll need to grade.
Then, select the curriculum that requires grading.
Then, select the unit.
Before we go into how to award points and grade the progress, it's important to understand the tools and legend above the chart that will help you to manage your data:
Unit Filter: This will allow you to sort through only certain units you'd like to see.
U: The "u" icon indicates that there's a submission waiting for you to grade.
Resubmit: The loopy arrow icon indicates that the student has re-submitted a lesson.
Marked As Complete: Some lessons do not require grading - if the student has marked that lesson as complete, you will see this checkmark.
Working On It: The half-star icon indicates that your student is working on the current lesson - stay tuned!
Blue Paper: Clicking on this will allow you to download your report.
Now, if you'd like to grade an assignment, click on one of the "U"'s.
Now, you'll see your student's submission. Just in case you forget which "u" that you've clicked, we've got the lesson tab and student's name up top, so don't fret.
You'll then be able to award points and comment in reply. Hit Save. If you've got multiple submissions that need grading, hit Next to go to the next one.
Now, you'll see that the assignment has been updated with their score on the chart.
