GradePad: The Free NECC Version

We submitted the free NECC version on Friday to Apple and we are very excited about this. It should be available on June 28th.

It includes the ability to make an unlimited number of groups and people within groups. As a conference attending tool, it includes 5 rubrics to assess an exhibit, a presentation, a meeting, an encounter, and a workshop.

You can send your assessments to any email address and you can submit your assessments to the gradepad.com site for tallying. To protect privacy and limit liability, we won't provide any "details" of those assessments -- just the average scores of all exhibits, for example.

The exhibit rubric is very similar to other rubrics we've provided on our GradePad.com site: Science Fair Project and History Fair Project. The presentation rubric is also similar to other "oral presentation" rubrics we provde.

The "encounter" rubric is similar to other "interpersonal communication" rubrics.

All in all, we think this will be a very good demonstration of the power of a teacher tool for mobile performance assessment.
