Likelihood of Using:
I can see myself using this tool as I remember using this in grade school very frequently especially getting into high school. I see myself using this to import grades as a teacher this is super useful to have that way you can keep track of attendance and school grades.
Course Connection:
This technology reminds me of the first few weeks which were the conversation on the ancient and modern crow. In class we have discussed how there are several different technology's that we have heard about or that will be new to us. This technology reminded me of something old, ancient as referred to the discussion in class. This is something so many teachers rely on for elementary but no modern technology such as canvas or any other technology. It connected to me as it made me think about how there is not much options in grade school for grades.

Hi Alondra,
ReplyDeleteThat is cool you are so familiar with this from when you were in elementary school. I hadn't used this I don't think when I was younger, we always used PowerSchool, but the school I am placed in uses this software. We have students practice showing their grades every Friday so they can keep up and make sure there aren't missing assignments.
Hi Alondra,
ReplyDeleteI am also very familiar with this technology. My middle and high school used this for grading. I definitely agree with your statement about this technology being really old. From what I remember, it could definitely use some updating. It would be really nice if this technology could be connected with Google Classroom. It would be one less hoop teachers would have to go through when inputting grades.
