Our school uses the web-based grade and homework program, ProgressBook. This is an excellent program that gives parents and students the opportunity to view grades and activities in real time.
When an administrator asked me why I don’t just use ProgressBook for all of my assignments and Paperless Classroom work, my response was quick and easy.
My Wiki classroom site is just more user-friendly and offers more flexibility.
For example, I can’t create secure student websites with ProgressBook, and these student sites are the cornerstone of my virtual classroom and my web-based instruction.
My students post writing, quizzes, tests and even projects to their private websites. They love it; we use almost no paper, and I can’t see ever going back to the old pencil-and-paper world.
ProgressBook is okay, but for now it’s a distant second to my Paperless Classroom.
