Is anyone here using gemini for marking? If so, how?

It would be a huge time saving but there is so much friction - copying, pasting into gemini and then copying that back into a feedback document.

Does anyone have any shortcuts?

Kieren, Google Classroom now has a useful shortcut if your school has Education Plus or the Teaching & Learning add-on. When reviewing a student's submission, you can select “Help me write” to generate feedback directly from their work, review and refine it, and post it as a private comment without copying and pasting.

In my own teaching, Gemini is more useful for formative feedback than actually marking. For example, in senior Physics and Chemistry, I want students to demonstrate their scientific reasoning, not simply arrive at the correct answer. AI can help identify possible misconceptions, suggest probing questions and generate next steps aligned with an assessment rubric.  I still need to judge the quality of the student's understanding.

My concern is that efficiency can easily become the driving objective when we should be asking whether the feedback actually improves learning.

I'd suggest starting with Gemini's integrated Classroom feedback tools, using a clear rubric and keeping the teacher responsible for assessment decisions. The goal should be less time generating feedback and more time responding to what students actually need.

Thanks!

Eu uso da seguinte forma: envio o arquivo dos conteúdos para o Gemini, peço que crie uma prova com dez questões objetivas, com 5 alternativas cada, somente uma correta, e gabarito ao final. Crio o rascunho no Google Documentos, nomeio e movo para a pasta correta no meu Drive.

Abro o Google Forms, ao clicar em abrir Formulário em Branco, digito @para selecionar o arquivo criado anteriormente, e crio o teste. O Google Forms lê o arquivo, e gera as 10 questões, com a alternativa correta de acordo com o gabarito.

Acrescento uma perguntas de Nome Completo, e turma, e é publicar o Forms.

Agora é ir pro Classroom, criar Atividade com Teste, excluo o Forms em Branco gerado automaticamente e busco no Drive o Forms que eu criei e importar notas.

Com isso, assim que cada aluno responder a prova, a nota poderá ser importada para sua turma no Classroom. Importo, confirmo a nota, e a média o próprio Classroom calcula.
