Description:

 

TeachFile provides total classroom management for teachers through a powerful, intuitive interface based on the scheme of the popular TeamFile application. With TeachFile, you can easily track assignments, attendance and general status lists for all of your classes. Create up to 250 date-associated, titled lists of each of these three types for each class as you progress through the quarter, semester and year. Apply weighted categories to individual assignments, and enter scores and totals for these for each student. Check off dated attendance lists, also in a weighted category. Check off general status lists, such as "Who turned in their field trip form?" or "Who participated in the science fair?" Navigate through these date-sorted lists either sequentially or through a list index. Attach notes to students on any list and instantly access their Address Book data.

Generate 11 different on-board reports at the class, individual and list level, including net weighted grades, between any two dates you choose. Export the reports to memos in either text or comma-separated value (CSV) format, and beam the memos to students, print them from the desktop, or paste them into a PC spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel if you want. Optionally export reports with student IDs from Address Book listings in place of student names, so the reports can be posted. Get the portability of a handheld device and the display and print capabilities of a PC.

With TeachFile you can:

  • Populate all your classes--add pages of classes, copy, move and delete classes at any time. Track up to 48 students per class. Enter student names by hand, or import student names from Address Book listings, or import class listings from memos generated on the PC. 
  • Track Assignments--Create dated assignments in user-weighted categories. Enter scores and total, and display them in absolute or percent format. Excuse students from assignments. Show class averages.
  • Track Attendance--Create dated attendance lists in a user-weighted category, using a convenient checkbox format and an optional up/down counter.
  • Track Status--Create dated, general-purpose status lists with a convenient checkbox format and an optional up/down counter.
  • Create up to 250 individually titled lists in each type per class (5 in Evaluation Version).
  • Navigate lists sequentially or through a List Index.
  • Attach notes to individual students on any list.
  • Access full Address Book data for any student.
  • Tap on the alarm icon on any major form for an instant drill attendance report.
