### 5 Steps to Create Your Free Digital Gradebook

**Step 1: Create a Google Doc Template** Start by opening a new [Google Doc](/blog/google-docs). Use a table format to list student names, assignments, and space for grades. You can include columns like:

1.  Student Name
2.  Assignment Title
3.  Date
4.  Grade
5.  Comments

Keep your format clean and consistent-Formswrite uses this layout to generate your form.

**Step 2: Structure It for Data Entry** Design your table so it's easy to fill out or convert. For example:

| Student Name | Assignment | Grade | Comments |

|--------------|------------|-------|----------|

| | | | |

Leave the rows empty for now-they’ll be filled in later via the form.

\*\*Step 3: Go to \*\*Formswrite.com Once your Google Doc is ready, head over to Formswrite.com . It’s a web-based tool (not a plugin), so you don’t need to install anything.

**Step 4: Convert Your Doc into a Form** Log in with your Google account, select the Doc you just created, and click “Convert to Form.” Formswrite instantly turns your gradebook layout into a Google Form-ideal for inputting grades or collecting data.

**Step 5: Share and Track** Use the form to log grades digitally, or share it with TAs or co-teachers for collaborative input. All responses will be stored in a connected Google Sheet-perfect for tracking student performance over time.
