I recently created an account with Engrade.com where teachers are able to keep track of their grades online. This online grading software was very easy to use and when creating an account, you are walked through step-by-step. My favorite thing about this site is that it is completely free!!!
Some of the features that I liked about this site are that parents and students are able to access grades from at home. Student grades can be viewed within three hours from when they were posted by the teacher. Each student is given a unique code by the teacher and this is how the grades are looked up. This would be a great tool to use in the classroom because it would provide feedback that the parents can access at any time. Teachers can use this site to make sure that parents are seeing the grades that their students receive, and it is not a shock by the end of the class what grade their students have earned.
I played around with the site for a while, and I cannot find anything that I do not like about it. I liked this site very much, and I highly recommend that other teachers look into it for future use in their classrooms! I think that parents will love it too!
