Integrated set of DBs to track and manage students while in class. Includes student info, contacts, attendance/tardies (auto date/time stamp, excused/unexcused checkbox), book/workbook info (date in/out, condition, no.), "positive" contact manager, good things (click to give those bonus points), discipline (w/auto date/time stamp, offense, notes, disposition), homework. Many popups, fully customizable. This is NOT intended to be a full gradebook program, but rather to replace that awful pile of scraps of paper I used to end up with (and often lose) in my pockets at the end of the day.
Has Data:
No
Has Forms:
No
Filters:
Filter by period when starting a class; filter by pop-ups to report on the "un" things (unfinished HW, unexcused absences, unreturned books...)
Sorting:
Sort by random numbers (you can easily add truly random numbers to the five random fields included using Excel or by hand) to call on students in "random" order; five sets should be enough to keep them guessing!
Reports:
Use "export" to instantly transfer data to MemoPad -- lists of missing things, discipline and warnings, etc. (great for conferences) Very powerful when combined with filtering by student or period.
Comments:
I'm thinking primarily of high school -- I'm a foreign language teacher, so you may want to edit some pop-up "offenses" like "use of native language in class"...! Comes with sample data for 6 students in 2 class periods; will need to be deleted.
