hi this is Matt Matt in this video I
will talk to you about marking students
homework digitally and giving them
feedback let's get started if you are
teaching online or giving your students
digital assessments you need to find a
way to mark their homework digitally and
the giving them feedback in this video
you will see two ways of doing this the
first way we will talk about receiving
PDF files writing on them and sending
them back and in a second way I will
introduce your website class kake.com
and then I will show you a hub you can
give feedback students through that
website let's start with the first way
first of all you need to receive
homework from students and they can
either email you or plot the work to a
classroom or at your website so they can
use in other method methods to do that
but there's one thing which is really
really important you need to receive a
PDF file to mark them easily because
some students send pictures some of them
send Word documents it's really hard to
organize them it's really hard to
annotate on them so that's why we want
you to receive we want teachers to
receive PDF file it is fast to send PDF
files because they do not cover too much
space right that's why my students send
their homework papers as PDF files one
PDF file their assignment so first thing
first they need to know how to send an
assignment as a PDF file and there are a
lot of ways of doing this the most
popular one is chem Skinner they can
download a champion or app to their
smartphones and when they submit their
assignments they can just take pictures
of their papers while using cams canner
and software converts pictures to a PDF
file it's a great software and I'm going
to show you how they can do that
okay here's a software they just need to
click this photo icon and then take
pictures after they do that the software
detects the page and saves it you see it
also enhanced the picture let's say you
have two pages Symonds they just need to
click this new page icon next to the
page we have here so and then they can
take picture again to see it is in the
size of the picture but sometimes you
guys sometimes you see that it doesn't
attack all the page so you can just
adjust it manually or you can click this
full size icon and then that's it it
will automatically enhance the picture
and there are different modes you can
see but the magic color mode will give
you the best resolution look that they
just need to press this PDF I can guide
at the top and then the software saves
the PDF file click on this share icon so
when they do that they can email you or
upload it to classroom or another method
you can see on the screen right now so I
want them to email me so they just press
this gmail icon and then I just write my
email address there so it is that simple
so this is what they should do
okay let's say you receive the file and
this is the file you see and you want to
mark them and send them back so we can
use any kind of not taking software guys
to mark their assignments so I'm using
PDF annotator 8 to mark homework papers
because it is faster than most not
taking software and it has great tools I
will show you in a minute so let's open
this with PDF annotator 8 let's make it
fullscreen now I can write on it and
give them feedback I'm using my graphics
tablet to annotate on it and you see
it's easy to put check marks on it but
you don't have to do that you can use
your mouse to the
and there are also great stamps here in
the software so let's see it looks like
that look at this these are the correct
answers and let's say this one is wrong
I'm going to put that sign on it
there are different stamps here you see
and you can definitely change it and you
can also give some feedback for example
if you want to write down a solution you
can cross the old one and then write
your solution there all your ends are
dead and I usually put some feedback at
the top so for example they say that he
passes the assignment so I'm gonna put a
little peace sign on top of it and then
if I want to give them some feedback I
can write something on it like please
check question number 3 or please use
math format or if it's perfect I just
simply write perfect very good or
something like that and you can also use
some stamps guys for example some some
emojis or some star signs here so look
at this it looks great so this is how
you can mark students who work digitally
you just have to save it and close it
and email them back or we can upload it
to Google classroom ok that's it this is
the first way let's talk about the
second way using class cake website
there's a website guys class Keep Calm
which was specifically designed for
marking and feedback so this is the
website okay let's check the difference
between free version and the pro version
so the here's the price and you can you
can see that you can compare two basic
versions here and I think it is seven
dollars it's eight dollars per month or
a teacher so this is it let's continue
now and create a free account as a
teacher let me just write my credentials
okay so you just need to fill in this
form and write your school's name and
that's it
okay this is the platform we think we
can delete this sample assignment here
and you see there's nothing here no
assignments no classrooms you can create
as many classroom as you want by the way
and roosters guys are your classrooms in
this website so I'm going to create some
classrooms here let me create grade 10
grade 11 and grade 12 classrooms and
okay yeah so these are my classrooms now
my roosters now I can upload assignments
I'm going to click on assignments and
click this little plus icon at the top
choose my assignment and that's it after
you upload your assignment guys you will
assign it get four great ten classroom
if you sent this called to your students
they can definitely use this code and
then see the assignment in in clastic
website so you can also copy it and
paste this link to your Google classroom
let's see the assignment is student now
I copied the link and paste it to
another browser now if I click the link
the classical will automatically appears
there and they just need to write down
their names so look at these guys here
here's the assignment they don't need to
download it they don't need to go to
your website and try to find it so
there's no email traffic here guys
everything is there in the classic
software now I'm gonna show you guys how
I'm student see and have teachers that
see at the same time the right-hand side
uses student account and the left-hand
side you see the teacher account let's
choose the assignment here and if I want
to leave the work now it says my mat is
currently here so because I stopped on
the right hand side so everything I do
on the right side appears on the left
side and there are also some drawing and
writing tools if they have Andre tablets
or
pets they can definitely write on it by
using their stylus or they can also
solve the Croatian on a piece of paper
and upload it to class kik app okay so
I'm going to show you the first way now
so let's say your students have tablets
and you see they can write on it and
everything they write on the right hand
side appears on the left side in
real-time so teachers can see how what
students are working on and how they are
doing with their assignments that's
great if they don't have a writing
device or a tablet they can solve them
on a piece of paper and take pictures
and upload it to the website and I'm
going to show you how they do that just
need to guys click this photo icon at
the top and choose the picture they want
to upload they don't need to use
computer to do that by the way they can
use their mobile phones they can go to
class keep calm and then take pictures
of their solutions and upload it to the
website and that's it
there's no Save button guys when they
close the window everything will
automatically be saved and the good
thing is here there is no email traffic
there's no receiving papers and send
them back to the students and students
just need to log in solve them or upload
their solution pictures and then close
the website everything will be
automatically saved and after they
submit it you'll log in mark their
papers give feedback and that's it you
can use your graphics tablets to do that
or you can use your mouse and do the
correction and this is how I mark my
homework papers and give feedback to my
students in my online courses I recorded
this video because some teachers asked
my digital homework checking strategies
and this is it so if you have any
questions or any video recommendations
please comment below and let me know I
will try to talk about every single
aspect of online teaching keep watching
my videos goodbye
