"Google docs has made it possible for me to go paperless. The decision to remove paper from my life has been liberating! Whenever I train teachers, I share my enthusiasm for a paperless classroom. My cries of joy and excitement are sometimes met with grunts and skeptical looks. I’ve met several teachers using Google docs, who still collect hard copies of assignments and essays to grade by hand. They are concerned that grading online will take longer than grading by hand. I disagree.
"I want to share three tips and tricks I’ve used to make grading digital writing more efficient than hand grading student work."
Although this post comes from and English teacher, there's no reason these techniques couldn't be used in any learning situation where significant amounts of writing take place.
I particularly like the idea of making links to YouTube videos that illustrate various points of grammar or usage.
