GradeCam is looking for guest bloggers to appear from time to time on our blog. Whether you’re a GradeCam user or an expert on an educational topic, our guidelines for submission are outlined below.

GRADECAM USER

Are you a GradeCam User with a great story?

We would love to hear how you use GradeCam in your classroom or for your building!

Ideas for Post Topics

• How you use GradeCam in the classroom. Each grade level and subject have unique ways they use GradeCam and we want to hear it!
• Tips and tricks for other teachers. Maybe you found a new grading hack using GradeCam or just have a few tips you’ve found useful when navigating the software.
• Student success and the data to back it up. Has one of your students really excelled because of your GradeCam techniques? Or, maybe you saw improvement with your whole class because of the instant data analysis GradeCam provides.
• Answer the question: How has GradeCam made your life easier as a teacher?

What We Need

• Article Text:  Web readers have short attention spans. Roughly 500-1000 words.
• Author Byline: We’ll need a couple sentences of bio information such as where/what you teach and any other personal information you’d like to include.
• Headshot Photo: This doesn’t have to be a professional photo, but a well-lit and clear photo of you from the shoulders up would be appreciated. Please submit  in .jpg or .png format.
• Photography: Additional photography of you in the classroom is a plus but not required. Please do not submit photographs of students unless they are not facing the camera.
• Screenshots: Feel free to include screenshots of your data if relevant. If student information is visible, it will be blurred out.

Submit your article via email to megan@gradecam.com. Please submit the text of the article in the body of the email and attach all photography/screenshots to the email.
