I love the organization that this online grading tool can offer. I tried to play around with it first, but then decided to take the tutorial. It is so easy to post assignments and enter grades. You can even have the program weigh the percentages. I like the feature of using e for exclude or m for missing assignment. The program calculates the scores accordingly. The citizenship box is pretty cool too. The parents or student can access their gradebook and see the teacher's comments in the citizenship section, such as "great job." If a student has many teachers that use Engrade, they can register once and have all their classes under one account. This keeps the student on track and can provide motivation to increase their grades because they have online access at any time. I would definitely use this program. It seems that it would keep me very organized, as well as in touch with the parents and students.
I know that the calendar feature would be a favorite to the teacher, student and parents. Tests, homework, projects, or anything that is due can be added to the calendar so that students and parents can keep track of upcoming assignments.
