Paperscorer

Paperscorer is a fantastic new mobile (iOS/Android, or Chrome plug-in) app that allows educators and students to assess their learning in real-time.  The way this works is a teacher creates an assessment/quiz in Google Forms/Documents and then create and print out a unique answer form/bubble sheet for each student.  The student then uses those forms to answer the question and take the assessment/quiz.  Once the form is complete the user can then open the app on a mobile device and take pictures of the forms.  Paperscorer will then grade the form/assessment and generate detailed reports.  Also, Paperscorer will import student responses back to a educator's Google account.  This makes it ideal for teachers to differentiate instruction.

Features of Paperscorer:

• saves time grading and assessing learning/quizzes/projects
• generates detailed reports
• improves quality and frequency of feedback
• aids in differentiating instruction
• ideal for a self-guided feedback or exit slips for students

iWorks vs Google Docs

Here is an article that compares Google Docs vs iWorks 09. I think it will be interesting to see how Apple jumps into the whole online “collaborating” scene.

From what I can tell iWorks.com is great if you want to share what you’ve created in iWorks w/ others. However, this can not be used as a collaboration, say as Google Docs, other users can not have write access to what you’ve posted on iWorks.com.
