automated marking 2014
DESCRIPTION
In this session you will learn how to mark and give feedback to classes in the time it takes to make a cup of tea. I will show you how I collect data from over 200 students at a time, to see exactly how I can pinpoint student strengths and weaknesses and am then able to act on it before the next lesson. Using free tools from Google you will be able to make marking much quicker, more accurate and provide you with reporting tools that will enable you to see at a glance how well your students are doing. Invest 1 hour to save weeks of marking!TRANSCRIPT
