Mark It lets children mark their own written work. A child photographs their page on any device, and Sage spots the missing capital letters, full stops and spelling slips — then turns each one into a question, not an answer. The child finds and fixes their own mistakes on paper with a pencil, while you work with a group. Pupils join with a QR code or a 4-digit code, with no pupil accounts.
Marking a set of books is one of the biggest time costs in teaching — and children learn far more from finding a mistake themselves than from reading a tick or a correction. Mark It turns marking into the child’s job. Open a session on the whiteboard and it shows a QR code and a 4-digit code; children join on any device and photograph their work. Sage reads the page and marks it against the level you chose: “find it yourself” (just how many slips, no clues), “show where” (each spot circled with a question), or “show the fix” for your youngest writers. Nothing is stored — the photo goes straight from the child’s device to the marking and back, then is deleted. You set the age range and the support level; the child does the thinking.
How does self-marking work?
A child photographs their written work on any device after joining with a QR or 4-digit code. Sage spots missing capitals, full stops and spelling slips, then shows each one as a question. The child finds and fixes it on paper with a pencil.
Does it give children the answers?
Not by default. You choose how much support: just how many slips there are, each spot circled with a question, or — for the youngest writers — the correction shown too.
Do pupils need an account or app?
No — children join with a QR code or a 4-digit code in a browser. There are no pupil accounts and nothing to install.
Are the photos of children’s work stored?
No — the photo goes straight from the child’s device to the marking and back, then is deleted. Nothing is kept.
