Re: Using Pocket PC in classroom
Posted by Donna on 4/19/08

    It's a Palm Pilot. I use gradekeeper as my electronic gradebook
    and it has the palm pilot set up in that program. I think it's
    www.gradekeeper.com. When I get home, I just do a quick uplink
    to my computer and presto grades done! Don't tell my district
    but I no longer keep a paper grade book. When grading hw for
    completion, I walk around the room withit and check it off on my
    pda. It is also nice because once I link to computer it updates
    the students grade average and holds everything like the
    computer. What am I missing just a few clicks and I can tell
    them. Plus I am a traveling teacher, so I don't really have
    access to computer at school. Hubby got it for me on e-bay.
    Favorite x-mas present EVER! I thought I would take notes
    during the day but in reality seldom do. I do however, note
    when a telepone a parent since I use it to look up #'s anyway.
    Putting abreviated IEP info is also a life saver. Quick peek
    before I walk into a parent meeting and I'm on top of any
    accomidation. Also, used it ALOT at beginning of year (HS
    teacher) when I was still fuzzy on who was who and who needed
    what.
