Extension summary

Copy grades from anywhere and paste grades into Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology or PowerSchool—Totally Free! GradePaste is an extension that enables pasting columns of grades so you can transfer grades between apps in no time. You can copy a column of numbers from any spreadsheet or compatible app (like positiveSTEM.org!) and paste it into your compatible grade book as long as this browser extension is installed. This saves time and helps you tie all your teaching tools together.

Special features include:

  1. You can paste a column of percents and choose for the extension to automatically convert it to points. Pasting is as simple as using Ctrl-V or Command-V or using menus to paste. You'll be prompted with a pop-up and you can continue with pasting by simply hitting enter or clicking the Paste button.
  2. When pasting percents, those can either be numbers between 0 and 100 or they can optionally have a trailing % sign or they can even be decimals between 0.00 and 1.00. The extension will handle these different formats automatically.
  3. Physics and Chemistry teachers should check out the compatibility with positivephysics.org and positivechemistry.org.

HINT: You will need to ensure that the order of students in whatever app or spreadsheet you are copying from is the same as the order of students in the grade book that you are pasting into.

ONE COLUMN AT A TIME: Currently this only supports copying and pasting a single column of numbers at a time. If you copy multiple columns at a time it will not currently work. Let us know if transferring / pasting multiple columns would be a significant help to you and we will consider it.

Saves me so much time... I work in PowerSchool with it. It can only do one column at a time (as of right now), and I have to have that assignment on its own page, but it works spectacularly for that. Very grateful to have this now.

Works as promised. Basically you can paste a column of scores into various online gradebooks that otherwise won't work for pasting. Why waste time manually entering scores when you can copy and paste?
