I've been trying to use GradeCam to grade my benchmark exams, as
well as the normal quizzes in class. It has the potential to tell
you what your kids are choosing, which is nice. But so far, I can't
say I've had the greatest results. I had a camera problem, but they
quickly sent me a new camera. The second camera works, but I have
to put a box over the camera and paper to cut down on the light.
Otherwise the papers are over-exposed and it doesn't read. I wrote
to support, but this time I still haven't received a response. So
far I haven't had any luck moving my scores to my gradebook, but
that might be me. It's not obvious.
