New post on Koehler Center for Teaching Excellence

 

Grading by kate marshall I've rounded up some helpful grading links. These should come in handy just in case you find yourself with a pile of grading to do now. Or next week. Or both. Enjoy a better grading experience. I like the author's optimism! The link has basic information about how to use your TAs and how to respond to complaints, points worth thinking about if you haven't yet developed a strategy for either situation. The author also discusses rubrics; note that rubrics have been the topic of several earlier posts here on our blog. From Profhacker, how to grade with voice on an iPad. This method relies upon the iAnnotate PDF app ($9.99) and having your students submit their papers and receive your comments as PDFs. The blog post has a detailed how-to video. Additionally, several commenters share alternative methods for adding audio comments to student work. Other Profhacker posts detail providing voice feedback using Jing and audio comments using Audacity. If you find yourself grading something other than traditional papers or exams, this very thoughtful piece on evaluating multi-modal work may help to crystallize your approach. In closing, a reminder that we have Teacher-Scholar labs on May 7th and 10th. We can help you wrap up this semester or get ready for next semester. kate marshall | May 1, 2013 at 10:18 am | Tags: audio, grading, project-based learning, rubrics | Categories: regular | URL: http://wp.me/s1XeZv-grading
