Online GradeBook From GradesConnect
I'll
make it easy & let the owner of the site tell you about it.
"We were finding an annual rising cost for online grade book and course
management systems. So our teacher response was to create a free online
grade book and course management system. Any teacher, school, district
or system is welcome to use it.
(Gradeconnect was selected as "Site of the Week" at 4teachers.org at
the University of Kansas. It has been reviewed and is now noted on the
website of USA Today Education as a "Best Bet". As of 10/22/04, the U.S
Dept. for Education selected Gradeconnect for EROD.... and it just got
a 5 star review from Blue Web'n. We can include as of 11/11/04,
Gradeconnect will be published in the London Times Education
Supplement.)"
