How to use Taut in K-12 schools?

If the teacher workload wasn’t already too excessive (and it was), then the pandemic clearly raised it to another level. Giving feedback to all the students in class in this remote learning is more challenging than ever but at the same time, it’s more necessary than ever. As feedback is the #1 driver of student learning, the lack of feedback is potentially setting them back. So what to do?

Taut is your answer. It’s a new and faster way to leave feedback on student work. Students can send in their work and you are able to mark and grade it in no time. Imagine a part of your class making the same mistake in an assignment. And you need to provide individual feedback to each one of them. With Taut you can just drag and drop pre-saved comments and move on, or give it a few adjustments if necessary. Taut also tracks and motivates students to read all comments written by the teacher. You can see how it compares to other feedback tools in this article.

How to use it in your class or school? It’s easy — all you need is a school or district Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) or a regular Gmail account. Once you sign up on Taut, your classes and students are automatically synchronized with Google Classroom.

In Taut you can create assignments and receive back the student work once they have finished it and uploaded the image. Next, just go through student work one by one. Mark it, comment on it and of course, use reusable comments to save time and cut out repetitive work. After reviewing and grading the work, it’s instantly sent back to the student who receives a notification in Taut and email.
