Clawing back time taken reviewing work, grading and giving feedback on schoolwork can be a challenging feat for teachers.

Luckily, there are tools for teachers that can make the process a little less painstaking. Marking schoolwork using a digital markup tool like Drawboard PDF can help teachers drive major efficiency wins. Here are some other benefits of marking digitally:

  • Digital marking is totally paperless.

The environmental benefits of this are clear; turning one tree into 17 reams of paper releases 50kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. On top of this, the tree is no longer able to absorb a further 32kg of CO2 per year.

For teachers, going paperless also means that some of the classroom budget that would otherwise be used for paper can be allocated to other equipment and classroom necessities.

  • Having all of your documents and students’ work on your device or saved to the cloud means you can mark from anywhere without going through the hassle of printing
  • Marking digitally also means you can avoid having to carry stacks of students’ work to and from home or wherever you do your marking
  • You can easily share marked work directly with students or collaborate on the same documents with students and colleagues

So, what grading tools for teachers are there on Drawboard PDF? Here are 4 ways that teachers can use the free app to review and grade students’ schoolwork.

Using a digital pen

Use your finger or a stylus like the surface pen or Apple pencil to write your notes, give feedback and grade with the feel of pen on paper.

Give feedback with callouts

Insert callouts (PRO) to draw attention to errors, mistakes or to give feedback on particular sections of work.

Highlight errors

Use text highlight to freely highlight text, sections, or pieces of work and spotlight areas that require editing or attention.

Bookmark to never lose where you’re up to

Use bookmarks to indicate where you’re up to. Ensure you never lose your spot so that you can easily resume your marking another time or call attention to a section that requires further review.
