The Simple Grading Tool Every Teacher Needs

It's the grading tool every teachers knows and loves… in app form!

Easy Grade – a simple grading tool every teacher can use.

Still hanging on to your old school cardboard grading calculator? You might want to check out the free Easy Grade app as another method to use when calculating your grading scales.

Easy Grade makes it easy to grade your students' papers when you don’t have the cardboard EZ Grader with you. Easy Grade has many options that make it the best grading tool on iOS.

• Adjust how many questions are on the test
• Choose whether you want to increment by half-points in case you gave partial credit (feature available via In-App Purchase)
• Choose whether you want to calculate based on number of problems right or number of problems wrong
• Increase or decrease text size to fit more or less on the screen
• Use in landscape mode on your iPad

Teachers today know that every second counts. Especially when it comes to grading – I'm always happy to spend a little less time grading and a little more time doing, well, just about anything else. ;)

If you're a bit nostalgic like I am, you'll probably keep your the old cardboard grading scales nearby too. Nothing wrong with that! But I encourage you to embrace the digital age and give Easy Grade a try. Let me know what you think about this simple app in a comment on this article.
