Markboard Hack 1.2.7 + Redeem Codes

Capture a wide variety of data from students: assessment grades, quick notes and photos. The developers are actively developing the app with every update. Give it a try. Give your feedback if you would like to see additional features; the team at Chalk really does consider feedback.

I’m not able to type in grades quickly in the mobile version. I have to click on the individual student and then wait for the grade page to pop up, enter a grade for that one student, then click back out to the full roster. For rubric assessments, it does not display the rubric so those can’t be scored on my iPad or phone. I am still opening Markboard in my browser and using the fully functional browser based version instead. I just don’t get what this app is supposed to do better than the browser version. Also, the app crashes all the time—every time I tap the three dots in the upper right corner of a screen.

I really like the interface on the web. I use it mainly for observation and formative data collecting. I’ll set up a rubric with general behaviors I want to track: preparation, participation, following discussion protocols etc... the app doesn’t help me save any time without accessing a rubric. With over 155 students, and very little prep time, I can’t be scrolling through pictures and block text to figure out who was doing what for the day, nor do I have time to type comments about every student in class.

On the iPad, it is not easy to create a new assessment or to input the grades as it keeps switching to letters and not staying on numbers.

It does not give me any options to filter grades. I need to see a student’s quarter grades but it only give me the overall. The app itself seems to have no real helpful features, really not representative of a company that would want to offer something for teachers in 2019.
