Looking for an electronic gradebook?  I know I was.

In the first weeks of school, I’ve had dozens of students move on, off, or around my rosters.  If I’d been using a pen and paper gradebook, it would be scribbled and erased half to death.  Thankfully, from the first day I kept my main records on an electronic gradebook.

I first used Gradekeeper.  It’s fairly useful and cheap.  It had most of the functionality I wanted, but it didn’t leave me fully satisfied.

Then one day at school I found out that we had a site license to Easy Grade Pro.  This was a more robust database program for tracking students’ grades and attendance.  I love the program and there aren’t many tweaks that I would want to change.  Check out my full review of Easy Grade Pro at AssociatedContent.com.

Some useful features include:

• Copying students and assignments directly from one class to another
• Saving custom data on students (i.e. addresses, phone numbers, parent names)
• An array of custom grade scores (missing, excused, absent, and plenty more)
• Thorough score reporting for individual students and entire classes
• Ability to curve individual assignments and override student grades

Check it out.  It’s worth the money.  If you’re district bought it for you, it’s even better.
