Introducing the ability to ‘grade all’ in Google Classroom

Was sich ändert 

Im Jahr 2023, we expanded grading systems in Google Classroom and in 2024 we added a ‘missing’ grade state to Gradebook. To further improve upon grading options for teachers and give them the ability to perform bulk grading, we’re introducing ‘grade all’. 
With this new feature, teachers can quickly and efficiently grade all students’ work on the Gradebook page by selecting ‘grade all’. They can also choose to override existing grades and automatically return them to students after grading. 
Not only does this update save time by eliminating the need to enter each student’s grade one-by-one, but it also provides a solution to grading assignments based on completion rather than accuracy (such as exit tickets, due nows, classwork, etc.) where the grade is binary (‘0’ or ‘100’).

‘Grade all’ enables teachers to score faster and save time, ultimately making grading more efficient.

        • [Optional] Select “Override existing grades” to override existing grades with the new bulk grade 
        • [Optional] Select “Automatically return after grading” to return all grades after submitting the new bulk grade.

Generate vocabulary lists using Gemini in Google Classroom

Was sich ändert 

Since May of last year, education institutions have been leveraging new and powerful ways of working, teaching and learning with Gemini für Google Workspace. This includes products and features such as the Gemini app, Gemini Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI™), Gemini in Google Vids und Gemini in Classroom.
In continuing our efforts to ensure AI helps educators save time, create captivating learning experiences, and inspire creativity, we’re introducing a new way to generate vocabulary lists with the help of Gemini. 
Starting today, educators can generate custom word lists that are tailored to specific grade levels and topics identified by the educator. Specifically, the list will provide the word’s grammatical category, a clear definition, and a relevant example sentence to help students understand and use the vocabulary effectively. This functionality is accessible via the “Gemini Education” tab in Google Classroom.
