Open
the gradebook named Demo Gradebook. To do this double-click on the
icon titled Demo Gradebook found inside the Easy Grade Pro Folder. |

You
should be viewing the gradebook of a fictitious sixth grade teacher,
Ms. Demo, who teaches reading, math, language arts and science. She
also teaches science to the students in the other sixth grade class.
The other sixth grade teacher teaches Social Studies to both groups.
Ms. Demo is currently in the second quarter of the school year and
you are viewing the score chart for the class Quarter 2: Reading.
Notice the name of this class on the tool bar. |

Press
on the Class menu on the tool bar to switch to Quarter 2: Math. Notice
that Ms. Demo's math class has most of the same students as her reading
class but the assignments are different. |
| 3 |
Use
the Class menu to move to Quarter 2:Science-1 and then to Quarter
2:Science-2. Recall that Ms. Demo teaches science to both sixth grade
classes. The science classes have the same assignments but different
students. To save time, Ms. Demo enters assignments into just one
science class and then copies them to the other class. You'll have
a chance to do this in Lesson 2. |

Move
to the Social Studies class to view a class imported from the other
sixth grade teacher's gradebook. Notice that the students are the
same but other items are different because this class was created
by the other sixth grade teacher. Although Ms. Demo does not teach
this class, she wants to keep track of her students' performance in
all classes and wants to include their Social Studies grades in the
progress reports sent to parents and posted on her website. So, periodically,
she imports the entire Social Studies class from her associate's Easy
Grade Pro gradebook using a floppy disk or her school's network. |

Switch
back to Quarter 2: Reading. Now, click on the Attend. tab above the
Class menu to switch to the attendance chart. Make sure that you are
viewing Quarter 2: Reading. Notice that the new chart displays
dates and attendance marks. Ms. Demo takes attendance in just one
class, Reading, because it is the first class of her day. She could,
if she wanted to, take attendance in any or all classes. |
| 6 |
A class
actually has five different charts: score, attendance, seating, student
and assignment. Although Ms. Demo spends most of her time using the
Score chart, she does use the others on occasion. Use the tabs above
the Class menu to switch to each of the five charts. In the student
and assignment charts, be sure to use the scroll bars so that you
can view all the different columns. |
| 7 |
Each
class in a gradebook can have its own students, assignments and configuration
of the charts. Before moving on to Lesson 2, take a few moments to
use the Class menu, the Prior Class and Next Class tools, and chart
tabs to examine the rest of Ms. Demo's gradebook. Remember,
explore! |
