Suite for Teachers
© 2002 ADLSoftware
We found the majority of the six programs in this suite to be quite useful. The Student and Teachers Trackers are the two best, allowing the user to keep track of all pertinent contact and scheduling information. These would be very handy for administrators especially, having each student's and teacher's home information, class schedule, and so on at their fingertips anytime, anywhere. We also liked Discipline Log (a method for tracking student infractions and consequences) and Observation Log (great for recording student or class observations). PlanBook is a lesson plan organizer which might be useful, but we see less reason to make this a mobile activity— isn't lesson planning more easily done on the desktop? And finally, QuickGrade is not a grade book as one might expect, but merely a percentage calculator. The first four programs have real potential, however, for making teachers' and administrators' work lives easier. Note that all six are extremely intuitive to use.
