Engrade!!! Still here! - Engrade software cretique

I first found Engrade back in 2008. I used it the first school year I was teaching.  A fellow math teacher had mentioned that it was a good program. I examined it, and found it was easier for me to keep than a written grade book.

Re-examining Engrade, I find that I wish I could use this program instead of the current system I am using.  First, Engrade's gradebook is easy to use. The ability to categorize assignments according a standard is wonderful.  As the teacher, I would have a clear indication of the standards the student(s) struggles with.  The ability to give and relay messages through Engrade is also a nice touch.  Another positive aspect is having students register for Engrade for their class.   Students and parents/guardians have access to their current grades.  I believe that parents will like this this feature because they will have up-to-date information about their students progress.  Also, parents will be able to access this site from all most anywhere.

The categories under the "more"are also easy to use, and are quite handy.  The only difficult part of the categories under more is that it is difficult to scroll down the screen and keep the "more" options open.  The categories under the more are interesting and informative.

Engrade also has a quiz tool.   The only downfall to the quizzes is the quizzes are only multiple choice.  While handy, the quiz tool is limited.

Below is a snapshot of an imaginary class I made to be able to use and explore Engrade.  This software is useful for classroom teachers.  I would strongly recommend this software to anyone.
