Multiple choice tests are (kind of) inevitable when it comes to teaching, especially to get a good touchpoint on how each of our students is doing with specific standards. But, in order to get a good look at how individual students are doing, you often have to do a lot of math... and I'm not a fan of math. (Sorry, math teacher friends! I still love you!!)
ZipGrade is here to help! ZipGrade upgrades your paper tests to give teachers both grading ease AND data for days! ZipGrade will scan paper bubble sheets (that you print from ZipGrade-- no green scantrons necessary!) from your phone and instantly give you the grade. The best thing is that nothing changes for the kiddos. They have a paper test and bubble sheet just like they normally would.
You can also upload each student's name and tag your questions with standards as well, and the data available both on a class-wide and a student-specific level is SO eye-opening. Imagine being able to differentiate based on the skills your students are missing?? THAT is some leveled-up teaching!
This is particularly great practice for students that have End of Course tests, STAAR tests, or AP tests!
Zipgrade has a free version, but you will be limited on how many tests you can scan, however, a yearly membership costs $6.99. (I find it worth it and pay every year!)
