Michael Nagelkerke shared a blockbuster idea, up there with interactive whiteboards, that could change the face of our grading lives. Thank you Michael! Here it is:
Ben mentioned scan-tron as a way to keep grading to a minimum, but I use GradeCam. Does the very same thing, but you can do it with just a webcam and students can see what they got on the test immediately after taking the test. They just drop the quiz under the webcam or document camera, and it tells them their score on the computer screen. Anyone else using GradeCam? The best thing about it is if you only need to do 10 point quick quizzes, you can use it for free. If you want to do anything more than 10 point quizzes, you’ll have to buy the subscription. Check it out. http://www.gradecam.com
I wish I had this sucker about thirty years ago.
