Google sheets is a program that allows for any type of gradebook or quiz to be made. A quiz with and answer code can be made and it can then be imported right into the gradebook with little to no effort from the teacher. Formulas can be plugged into the sheets to allow for weighted grades to be computed as well.
To use Google sheets, one would just go to drive.google.com. From there the user can create a form/quiz. A responses sheet is prompted to be made by the program. This program is not as well prompted as others because it is not specifically for teaching, so there are many things that can be done with it. To use the program properly, the user would use it for all grades to be entered and tests to be taken on. It helps to ensure correct math computing of grades, and is intended to make computing easier for the teacher.
I personally would use the Google sheets in my classroom often. I thought it was a great program and easy to use once I got the hang of it. I like that the program is free. Because the program does most of the entering and computing of grades automatically, I think it would enable me to spend more time on lesson plans and less time on computing grades.
In the classroom I think that students would like to use this because they can take quizzes online. For some reason, quizzes seem less dreadful if they can be done by use of the internet. I also think that students would like that their teacher uses the program because of the automatic computing of grades. If a student would like to know their grade the teacher could tell them right then, instead of waiting a couple of days for the teacher to have time to figure up their scores.
