GradeCam

GradeCam is a new online tool that I'm finding out about for grading.  The way this works is by using a GradeCam sheet to take a quiz/test.  This works for multiple choice tests that requires bubbles to be filled in (think scantron).  A teacher then just has to hold up the sheet to either a web cam, document camera, or scanner and the data is uploaded/graded, and even gets automatically entered into any electronic gradebook.

Youngzine

Youngzine is a site I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. This is an excellent site for kids/students to find out current information on the web. Here is a quote straight from their site, "Our goal is to help parents and educators create a vibrant community of globally aware young citizens in an increasingly connected world. Along with news stories written specifically with our young audience in mind, Youngzine strives to inform using fun trivia, compelling visuals and videos."

Also, there are some nice features educators get such as a classroom blog and an area to collaborate on w/ students. In this "area" a teacher can post assignments, comments, and use it for grading.

I highly recommend checking out Youngzine by clicking here!!!

School Circuit

School Circuit is a nice looking free online environment/grading tool for educators. This is a place where students, teachers, and parents can come together through collaboration (ie, grade tracking, messaging, etc etc). While this is a free site, a user gets more features through a paid license such as reporting and data storage.

Also, check out LearnBoost or Schoology for similar learning management systems.
