I'm a high school teacher in Switzerland I regularly have to correct students essays handwritten or paper.
I sucessfully do this in the following way using Evernote:
Students hand in their texts.
I open a new note in Evernote Mobile and I take photographs of all handwritten pages of one student.
I use a new note for each student
(A reduced resolution is good enough and doesn't overload the notes)
(I watch out for the correct orientation of the camera)
I sync all the notes to my my computer and rename them logically with the students' names.
Later, for corrections and feedback, I open the notes on Evernote Desktop.
I click on the @ symbol of each photo to open the Evernote Skitch editor.
With Skitch, I write directly in to the texts using text, symbols, colours etc.
Finally I, print these edited photos and hand them back to the student with their untouched texts.
(Sometimes, I also export them digitally and hand them in digitally)
The students can edit or correct their texts into a final version.
(If it makes sense, they can keep my feedback photos)
Hope this might help someone or inspire to further ideas.
