Finding the right apps

One of my priorities is finding an app to replace my register book.  My current register/ diary book is used to register each class to monitor attendance, grade them weekly or as often as possible on the work they have done which then helps with report writing.

So I need an app that will match this.

Criteria:

- take attendance
- add notes
- grade pupils on performance
- be able to import pupil names from something simple like a CSV file


Additional features might include:
-be able to add photo by the pupils name
- attach video/ photo of work to add as evidence or build a profile for each pupil.

TeacherKit was chosen as it seems to tick most of my criteria.

I can import my pupils names from a CSV form via Dropbox.

I can take attendance with one 'click'

I can record if pupils are late/ off sport

I can add notes on each individual pupil

I can grade pupils on whatever I want to grade them out (graded out of 10 or similar)

I can't include photos or videos BUT this is something that is being developed.....

Set Up:

It took awhile to get to grips with exporting my registers & importing them from Dropbox but now I know how to do it it is easy.  I can copy and paste class lists from our school database.  As we already use photos of the pupils with this database it was easy to add these with the CSV file.  Within an hour I had put 7 classes onto the app ready to use.

This is a screenshot from a website but it gives you a rough idea of how it is presented.  Really clear to see, easy to use....so far so good.

(I have only had the app set up for 2 days so I will report back again within the next few weeks.)
