hi everyone mahmoud is here today i will
review an education website
backpacks.com which grades your papers
online
and gives instant feedback let's get
started
look at this assume that i'm a student
and this is my homework paper
and now i'm going to take a picture of
this paper
[Music]
and boom it gives me instant feedback
this is awesome let's talk about how you
can do that i have good news for you
guys backpacks is free now
because of the pandemic they give
teachers free access to backpacks with
unlimited features
and it will be free until 2021 so you
can try this for 4 months
without paying a dime and if you are
watching this video in 2021
you probably need to pay for these
features anyways
this is the website and let's start
reviewing
you can sign up as a teacher and get
free access to the website it is that
simple
and then you can start creating your
classrooms you can either import your
google classroom here
or create classrooms manually just like
that
and now our classroom is empty we can
add students by clicking this option
there are two ways to add you can either
add your students manually by creating
username and password for each student
or just send them quotes and they can
sign up as a student by themselves
next you need to create assignments
there are four ways of doing this
first of all click my content option and
then
you will see three options here first
way is creating an assignment from the
blank
let's do that one fill in this
information then
we can start writing questions and
answers
i'm going to write some basic questions
here just to show you how it works
by the way i did not find add a new
question option here
none of these two options work that's
why i am duplicating the previous one
to add the next question not a big deal
you can also use the math equation
creator here
to write questions and answers
[Music]
and when there are different forms of
answers guys do not forget to add those
okay this is how you can create from the
blank
and here is our first homework paper
second way is faster and i really like
that one you can upload a pdf file here
and then import your questions
and answers from the file by using the
snipping feature on the website
okay this is my pdf file here and you
see
i have my solutions on the file as well
there are some tools at the top you can
use this tool
you can snip your questions with a
question tool after you do that
question turns into a math sentence look
at this
awesome and then it automatically
chooses
the solution tool for you to choose the
answer
only the answer not the solution by the
way because website does not check the
steps
solutions and the works it only checks
the answer
so they need to call this one an answer
tool
okay my handwriting also turns into a
mathematical sentence
cool it is better if your question is
clean but sometimes it works even if you
have some scratch
some some drawings on the question look
at this
wonderful there are a few limitations
here your question needs to be a
sentence
can be operations or word problems but
you cannot
sniff shapes or graphs they don't work
and you also cannot ask questions like
graphing all answers and
questions should be in the form of
numbers or sentences
no diagrams no shapes and also
you cannot see students work and their
steps it only allows them to write their
answers
just answers okay here is my homework
paper ready
and there's one more thing guys it is
really really useful you can also upload
your textbook
and choose question from the textbook to
create your assignments
i believe most of you will like that one
and by the way uploading my textbook
guys
did not take too long it was super fast
the third option to create assignments
is called magic
i don't try this one but you can also
email backpacks
and i believe they will do it for you
and the last option the fourth option is
really cool
you can use the backpacks library it has
some pre-designed assignments
and you can copy them and use them in
your classrooms
and most of them have answers as well
pretty cool
choose the one you like click this
option copy to your contents
then you can edit and share with your
students
this is how you create your assignments
and you see all the assignments are here
next you need to assign those right but
first we need students in the classroom
here's a student account i just created
and i can join the classroom
by using the code okay i am in now
okay now let me assign homework to you
can set a due date here
and then there are other options you see
let me refresh the students page yeah it
is here
when students open it they have two
options first
they can download the file by clicking
this little circular download icon
print solve and then upload their work
they can use a mobile phone no computer
required
they can also write their answers
digitally without printing
now i will do the first way first i
downloaded it and
let's print it okay the homework paper
is ready
i will solve it quickly and i'm gonna
make one mistake
let's see what my mark will be it's
supposed to be eighty percent
okay i logged into my student account by
using my mobile phone
and i chose the assignment let me take a
picture
you need to wait a couple of seconds
here
and you can also edit your submission in
case the ai
makes a mistake reading it yes you see
it says 80
wonderful let's also do one assignment
online
you'll basically answer each question i
will make a few mistakes
yes 50 teachers can also analyze
classroom performance
by checking the results summary of each
homework it is useful
so this is how you can use backpacks.com
to mark students papers
automatically i definitely recommend all
of you to try this website guys
and see how it works you already know it
is really time consuming to check
students papers guys manually and i
believe
this website will save a lot of your
time i used the website couple of times
and did not
see any problems okay that's it for
today
if you have any questions guys comment
below and let me know i will be with you
in another video about online teaching
keep watching mathematics good bye
