Top 5 Grading Apps to Save Teachers Time and Enhance Learning (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: Are you still correcting tests, assignments and papers by hand? Be my guest, but I think you're taking the hard and time-consuming path. Why not take a helping hand from technology? I'm Lucy from Bookwidgets and in this video I will suggest some amazing grading apps that get the work done instead of spending hours and hours grading. You can just use the time to refine your lessons, get to know your students, differentiate and personalize learning. The first app is ZipGrade. ZipGrade is a grading app that helps you grade multiple choice tests in minutes. Simply scan the test with your smartphone and the app does the rest. Of course, not everything is about grades. This app only gives grades. It's up to you to know now what your students need and what questions you have to explain again. Don't forget to give some good feedback. The second grading tool is Bookwidgets. Bookwidgets is a learning platform that allows teachers to create fun and engaging interactive lessons for tablets, smartphones and computers. The tool has over 40 activities such as automatically graded quizzes, crosswords, worksheets and other interactive exercise templates. Once a teacher has made an assignment, the students can fill it in and send it back to the teacher. By the time it gets there, the assignment or test is already graded. The teacher's dashboard allows you to follow your students in time and give them some constructive feedback. Number three is GradeDigger. This is a simple tool for professors and teachers to keep track of point deductions as you grade papers and exams. Calculate the grade at the exact moment and save time by not doing a post-grade tally. Number four, Flubaroo. Flubaroo is a free add-on to Google Forms or Sheets. It helps you grade and analyze online assignments and assessments. You can also email scores to students. With Flubaroo, you'll be able to get scores for each student, identify students in need of extra help, view the average score and you get a histogram of scores. The add-on quickly identifies questions which a majority of your students missed. The last app is Formative. Formative lets you distribute an assignment to your students. Students make it and you get live results. You can follow your students in their learning process of that assignment and give instant grades and feedback. It basically is the same as Google Forms but easier to use and with some other essential features that a teacher can't miss out on. I have five more apps for you in the link by the description.
