We all know and love (or hate) GradeCam. Well, the we now have an opportunity to try out the Handwriting Feature in GradeCam for FREE until December 31, 2019. After the free trial, schools will need to evaluate whether they want to pay for the Handwriting Feature to be added to their school license at the cost of $1.00 per student.
If you're interested, please email Stephanie Olson by Friday!
Here are some types of questions that can be used with the Handwriting Feature:
Fill in the Blank: Scan and score short handwritten responses (up to 30 characters). It does support answer variations, too!
Numeric Responses: Scare and score handwritten number responses such as dates, mathematical solutions, scientific measurements, and more.
Score: Configure a point range for teacher-graded questions without having to bubble in the numbers!
Here are benefits to using the Handwriting feature:
Here are some resources to get started with the Handwriting Feature:

Creation of a test with multiple question formats including fill in the blanks which will be auto-graded by GradeCamGo! for upload into Skyward. More information here.
Ability to create fill in the blank questions which are auto-graded by GradeCamGo! and then transferred to Skyward in the with the click of a button. More information here.
