Are there more issues in GQ 10 than previous versions or is my district
just getting a little over the top? For example, we use gradequick to
send attendance in the morning. GQ now has a feature that allows other
gradebooks to "see" that information in their attendance. This seems to
me a good way to verify attendance across the day. But some people
don't like it. What are your thoughts?
Our district has told us we are to name our gradebooks in a certain
format. At my school we were told this is so gradebooks for a certain
class could be found easily. At a friend's school they were told that
they would not be able to "send" grades unless they were named in this
format. We download rosters that are updated over our Student
Information System module. Mine update just fine by the roster code
even though I named mine incorrectly (I downloaded my rosters and named
them before I got the memo, so much for being an early adopter!)
My last question is about the password on the GQ login. I know this is
built in if you have a site license for GQ10 (we do). My issue is that
now we have TWO login's and passwords for GQ. The first is to log on to
the network drive that holds the GQ program. The second is the GQ login
for the now password protected folders on the GQ drive. Two passwords
seem needlessly redundant since it seems more likely that teachers will
actually just leave GQ open all the time now. Anyone know about
deactivating the second password on the network install? (not that the
IT people are ever opposed to redundant passwords!
BTW, my true GQ annoyance is that they have now gone through the 5th
version where the print screens don't work well. Up to version 5 you
could print blank rosters or gradebooks using only the keyboard. Now
you have to use the mouse because the "OK" button won't work with the
"Enter" key. Also you can't scroll with a wheel mouse on the "Print
Preview" screens.
Any magical answers??
