Create Class Lists with Software that Helps Place Students
Every year, much time and care is put into creating next year's class lists.
Monica Burns at ClassTechTips.com wrote a post about a new software program called Class Composer. It is "designed to eliminate the cumbersome process of sorting students manually into different classes for the next school year. Instead of manually sorting a series of index cards with information on gender, academic needs, and placement requests this tool uses the same data to create a set of classes where students are placed in the perfect spot before the school year starts. Teachers can then click and drag students into other classes to fine-tune student placement with real time data updates."
Monica states that "they offer a free grade-level trial so you can see if it is the right fit for your school as well as subscriptions for both the school-level and district-level."
So, it's something you could use this year for free!
