There are more and more tools for classroom teachers on-line every day. I have been trying to sort through some of them and find the occasional gem. Today, I have two for you:
- Engrade.com – Engrade is a FREE, web-based grade book tool for educators, allowing them to manage their classes online while providing the option for teacher’s to offer parents and students to have access to 24/7 real-time online class information. While Easy Grade Pro (v.3.6), the district’s current grade book program, while not work on Windows VISTA or Mac, the on-line Engrade is platform independent. And if you have ever tried to sync grade books between your home and school computer with Easy Grade Pro, it is not very easy. Check out this FREE tool and let me know what you think.
- Delicious.com – “Delicious is a social bookmarking website – the primary use of Delicious is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. On Delicious, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders. You can also use del.icio.us to see the interesting links that your friends, (… STUDENTS …), and other people bookmark, and share links with them in return. You can even browse and search Delicious to discover the cool and useful bookmarks that everyone else has saved – which is made easy with tags.” – (taken from CrunchBase.com review)
I have been playing with Engrade and I really like the look of it. As for Delicious, you can check out my bookmarks (http://delicious.com/jerrytcher) and see what you think.
