Re: [school-discuss] Easy-to-use gradebook software




Hi,

I would suggest that when you create gradebook application that you include 
the ability to output the grades to Basmati.

Basmati is a application that lets teachers who use Misty City's Grade 
Machine, or OrbisSoft's Easy Grade Pro to post their grades to the web.

The main Basmati developer and I had been talking about adding a simple 
web-based gradebook to Basmati but we never really got around to it.

I think it is very important to make it extremely easy for a teacher to 
use.  Or they will not want to change from what they are currently using.
