GradeCam

GradeCam is a new way of assessing and grading your students.  Using GradeCam teachers can create an assessment using a Scantron format and then once the students have completed it...simple scan the paper using a document camera, scanner or even a webcam and it will be scored automatically with the grades being tracked on the GradeCam website.  Coming soon there will even be an app for iOS devices so that students can self grade their papers and get immediate feedback.




Now What?

GradeCam is a gamechanger for teachers who are tired of grading objective assessments.  I love that students can even grade the assessments themselves by using the iOS app.  Using these types of tests cannot be used for every assessment but the quick and immediate feedback is a great tool for formative instruction.
