Unfortunately it does not integrate at this time. In fact, I don't know of any gradebook software that iDoceo will integrate with (though I'm not an expert on all that's out there by any means). To me though, it is still easier than transfering pen and paper grades to the computer or having to run back and forth between my kids and my computer to give real-time grades.

This easiest way I have found to transfer grades in the limited time I've used iDoceo is to just have my iPad propped up next to my computer screen and manually type each grade in. When (if - haha!) I stay on top of it, it doesn't take long at all.

Hi Debbie,

Our team heard some really great advice about that this summer. Do your research (you've already got a great start to that!), then pick three apps that you think you can use in your classroom. Make it your goal to learn those in and out. If it takes all year - great! Next year add three more. Or if you feel you can add another to your plate as the year progresses, go for it! Even Todd Nesloney (The Tech Ninja from http://www.the3techninjas.org/) is only focussing on three new apps for this school year.

It depends on the district. Our principal could elaborate on this more, but my understanding is that in our district it is a campus based decision. Beyond that it is up to the teacher teams to say yes/no and create a working policy and device security plan.

In my previous district, our superintendent stood up in front of our entire district staff at a convocation, held up his own iPhone, and said, "This is a powerful classroom tool! Use it!" I also have friends in other districts that still have policies that will suspend a student if they are found with a phone/iOS device turned on during the school day. It's a slow process to get everyone on board, but I'm so glad to be part of a district that encourages us and our students learn with these tools!

Hi Brooke! I do have a limited experience with Teacher Kit. When I first got my iPad this spring I experimented with this Teacher Kit and a couple of other free or cheaper apps before I got fed up, researched, and bit the bullet and paid for iDoceo. Teacher Kit has some cool features, like their face recognition software, where you can take a class picture and it will automatically generate individuals into your class list and then let you go back and name them. The problems that made me give it up at the time (granted these problems could have been resolved since then), was that there was very little online support (iDoceo offers an excellent FAQ, forum, and how-to videos), it was not super customizable, and, the big kicker for me, there was no support for uploading an already made class list - and when you teach 750+ students, you do NOT want to individual type in every name on an iOS device! iDoceo allows you to use an Excel spreadsheet to upload your class lists and student information into the program - yet another wonderful time saver!

Hi Charlotte, I'm guessing you are also with Denton ISD, so the short answer for us is no. iDoceo and our Teacher Access Center through Sunguard do not communicate. If you're not with DISD, then I'm not sure but it wouldn't hurt to shoot them an email (their customer support is fantastic and super fast!) and ask if there is a possibility of iDoceo and your online gradebook being compatible. If enough people ask about it, they may start looking into that as an added feature!

With that said, even though I still had to input grades into our district's online gradebook, iDoceo made my life so much easier as I could walk around with the app open and give grades on the spot for student performances and mini-assessments. At the end of the grading period, I could quickly organize my class rosters to fit what I needed to input. instead of flipping back and forth between different pages in my traditional gradebook. I would estimate iDoceo saved me at least an hour or more just because of that!

Our best answer is to use a connecting device called a "dongle" that will convert your iPad/iPhone/iPod port into a VGA port that can be read by your projector (the same type of port that connects your monitor to your desktop). You can buy these at the Apple store. This is a quick, easy solution to project exactly what's on your iPad screen.

.

Also, at Paloma Creek we have been able to use a program called Doceri to remotely connect and control our desktop through our iPad and show the iPad screen that way (as long as your desktop is connect with your projector). I would suggest stopping by the Doceri booth here at TIA for a quick demo. The only catch is that you have to purchase the Doceri software for your desktop computer to connect with your iOS device. At Denton ISD we are blessed that our tech department saw enough merit in this to purchase it for us! :)

Sara, yes! All you have to do is click "Select all" at the top right of the app and you can award +/- points for the entire class. You can also click "Select Random" to randomly choose a student. - Melanie
