Educators in grades 3-12 are turning to Writable, a grading tool powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, to streamline the grading process. Writable utilizes AI-generated feedback to analyze student essays and offers rubric-aligned comments and draft scores. However, concerns have been raised about relying too heavily on AI for grading, potentially diminishing personalized feedback and teachers' familiarity with the material. Nonetheless, proponents argue that these tools can save teachers time, enabling them to focus on more impactful teaching activities. Other AI-powered grading tools on the market include Gradescope, Crowdmark, and EssayGrader.
