![]() ![]() The better students even started correcting ME when I would make mistakes in data entry! And then we were on the same team- us against the computer. Also my students quickly came to trust me more because they could see at any time exactly how I was grading them, and they could adjust when they needed to. Even the only marginally academic ones were working harder, because my school is a sports-focused school, and most of my kids hate to lose at anything, including grades, so when they can see their grades and know I´m keeping score (and know their parents can see as well) it makes them want to work hard to win. My students were 500% calmer, more focused, and better-motivated. Within three months of implementing iGradePlus everything had changed. Revelatory! Changed my whole professional life. That requires me to go and delete them all, which can be very time consuming (even if trying to do a bulk delete, which seems to slow the program down significantly).įinally, I wish teachers had the ability to simply look up students' grades in other classes without having admin access in iGrade. One other feature I don't like is that grades copy automatically when we start a new school year: this means if I taught English 10 1st period last year, but this year I teach English 12 1st period, my gradebook for 1st period is FULL of all of the old assignments from 1st period last year. It just says they have 3 absences, but doesn't say in which period (unless you go through extra steps to figure it out). I sometimes use the administrator account to look up students' grades and attendance in all their classes, and what I notice is, and this is my biggest complaint with iGrade, that students' absences are hard to track per class period when you look up their attendance. ![]() I don't like that the default setting for attendance is "present" (but that may just be how my school administrator set it up). ![]()
