Whoa Bad me! Totally forgot about PBL.
Yes, you will have to use gradebook to enter PBL scores. Sorry!

Also understand the point of this is for you to NOT enter scores or assignments twice!

Gradebook has 2 required uses.

Attendance
Posting of Midterms and final grades

So right now you do not need to even log in to it. All your assignments are and should be completed in Canvas. And Canvas only. Assignments will push to Gradebook. I have always had people ask about assignments that are not completed "electronically" or in Canvas. Not a problem. Put scores in Canvas - Stay out of Gradebook!

I am seeing teachers put content in Canvas as an assignment, then go to GSD Gradebook and adding the same assignment to enter scores. You're working to hard and adding too much data! Just record the scores in Canvas. Either in the Grades screen above or in Speed Grader below.

Unless you’re doing PBL…because the Granite gradebook DOESN’T talk with Canvas nor grade the way that canvas grades.

For example, I have to take a 12 question test in canvas and give my students a 1 – 4 grade. AND even better…explain to students that the grade they see as 8.5/11 does not directly equate to a 1,2,3 or 4, I have to look at the leveling of the question to determine their score.

Just venting…moving to PBL (or Granite’s version of it) Canvas is not as friendly as it once was. And completely not your fault. Keith you have been AMAZINGLY helpful and I appreciate everything you do for us.

Another good question... What about late work being turned in?
• If you put it in Canvas it should “trigger” a change and resend data to gradebook. Then it is in both spots.
• If you only put it in gradebook I do not think it will send it back to canvas. Then it is only in one spot.
Either one works Canvas is a better option. THEORETICALLY! 😉 Put in canvas but check gradebook in a day or two. Just to make sure.
