How do I grade documents on the Remarkable tablet?
In short: On the remarkable I highlight and make quick hand made notes, that I then type in a first draft. On the mac I turn this first draft into a proofread final grading that I put in the right format.
How I do it
As I've decided to move a lot of my thinking, writing work from my computer to the Remarkable tablet, I've also started to do the grading of the documents by the learners I supervise on the Remarkable.
Advantage one: focus
What I really like about grading on the remarkable is that it focuses me totally. I can't open a link and then finish totally elsewhere.
Advantage two: grading package
Another advantage is that I can, in a coaching session, review with the learners the hand made notes to show them in context where there were details that don't make it in the final grading (that needs to be short) but that still might interest them.
In this way the official grading sheet gives the general direction, and the annotated submission gives the learner the context of why exactly the feedback looks like this and the tiny details that can be improved very quickly.
