Checkmark

The folks at Ed Tech Team have a winner with the CheckMark Extension. 


I hope this extension will make your workflow easier and your feedback on student writing more robust. Remember that Chrome extensions are little programs that add functionality to your chrome browser.

We get tired. We also get frustrated of seeing the same mistake for the 20th time. Perhaps we also just get annoyed by writing the same corrections over and over.  Studies show that papers graded first earn higher marks than papers from the bottom of the pile. Perhaps this is why.
To get Checkmark, click this link.
You’ll now see in your menu bar a little checkbox icon.
I have already opened a google doc. (If you already had a google doc open, refresh it.) Now go up to the checkmark icon and enable it.
You’ll notice that there are common errors already listed and note you can add your own.
Once enabled, it couldn’t be easier to use . I warn you that the very first time you use it there may be a lag time which won’t continue to be a problem.
Just highlight a section you wish to correct and click the abbreviation above, you’ll see your correction appear as a comment. Here's a clip of me using on a google doc version of this post.
