Re: Infinite Campus grade book
Posted by Kate on 10/09/07

    Deb,

    You're an early adopter but still not using the gradebook? My
    experience has been that it's a barely adequate product, but nothing
    like my old gradebook. Very limited reports, only one class open at
    a time, a useless seating chart, a cute, but worthless online
    test-taking tool, and a LOT of clicking. My advice during training
    will be to verify how often you are expected to put assignment
    scores in (if at all). We were originally told that we only had to
    do attendance and to post our final grades. Most of us still do just
    that. One other small point... we may be on an older version, but IC
    does not log a teacher off if she logs in from a different
    workstation. Not a big deal, but a lot of our teachers switch
    classes and have been able to access another teacher's gradebook. Be
    sure to stress the "LOG OFF" message during your training.

    Welcome to the family!

    - Kate
