The partnership allows teachers to fund their GradeCam Go! Plus plans through the PledgeCents Marketplace
Philadelphia, PA – April 7, 2017 – When it comes to things that teachers need more, time is consistently at the top of the list. One of the most time-consuming, but also very important tasks for a teacher is grading. PledgeCents, Inc., the fundraising site which helps to bring resources and opportunities to classrooms across the country by alleviating funding needs, is adding more time-saving tools into its PledgeCents Marketplace to help offset the cost to get these tools into more teachers’ hands. Today, PledgeCents is excited to announce the newest partner GradeCam, whose powerful assessment tool can instantly grade assignments using any camera connected to a phone or computer helping teachers save time and reduce paperwork.

“What we love about GradeCam’s technology is that it gives our teachers hours back to focus on lesson planning, teaching or spending time with their friends and family,” said Andyshea Saberioon, CEO and co-founder of PledgeCents. “Using the time and data GradeCam provides, they can be empowered to think creatively about how to best serve their students. We are excited to see what teachers can accomplish with the time they gain when grading by hand is a thing of the past!“
Through the partnership, teachers and schools will be able to utilize PledgeCents to seamlessly generate a fundraising page to cover the cost of GradeCam Go! plans. The PledgeCents team works with each fundraiser to help raise the necessary funds and will purchase the plan immediately after the fundraiser ends and connect the teacher to a member of GradeCam’s team to expedite the process. Anyone interested can visit http://www.pledgecents.com/signup/event/gradecam to create their own page today.
"GradeCam’s number one priority has always been to help teachers save time grading so they can focus on what they love most: teaching,” said Debbie Delaney, Executive Vice President at GradeCam. “So we’re thrilled to be partnering with PledgeCents, a fundraising platform that makes our technology even more accessible and affordable to teachers everywhere."
