Technology For Classroom (InfiniteCampus)
Infinite Campus is an online grade book that my school-system uses and it is very beneficial. It allows teachers to input and access grades from anywhere. This program permits teachers to enter students' grades at home or at school. It also allows teachers to remain in complete contact with administration, parents, and students. Teachers can contact administrators via Infinite Campus. This program allows parents to view how well their child is performing in class as teachers post assignments and grades. Students also have the ability to access progress by logging into the student portion of the program. It is an all-around great program for teachers.

Our county uses a similar program called Pinnacle. We check it weekly to see our daughter's grades and it's so beneficial in allowing us to stay connected with her teachers. Although it may be stressful at times to have to check it, it's much better than being surprised by a bad progress report!
ReplyDeleteWe also use Infinite Campus for grades, attendance, and all personal records. We just rolled it out in March and we are gradually adding components a little at a time. I like it but we have identified weaknesses. The most improtant weakness is that we can not track a pattern in absences.
