What is the most efficient way to enter scores
and speed things up with the grade book?
Teachers can now move around the assignment grid to enter scores. Use
the Tab key to move to the next cell in the row. Use Enter to move
down the column, or use the arrow keys to move around the grid.
|
As
scores are entered, the number changes to red and is italicized.
A line is drawn through the grade
calculation to indicate the grade will change once the scores are
saved.

*Note: The grade book will also not allow you to enter an
invalid score or comment. The comment box to the left will appear. A
valid score will need to be entered before leaving the cell. |
There is another way to navigate from
assignment to assignment to enter scores that may work more
efficiently for you. Using the drop-down Assignment tab in the Scoring
window you can move from one assignment to another more quickly to
enter scores if you like.

Can I copy/paste
from a row of cells from Excel into Genesis Gradebook?
Because
this program is web-based you cannot paste into more than one cell at
a time.

What is the plan for special area teachers’ access to the grade
book?
The way the District currently does
scheduling in the elementary schools, the specials teachers do not have
created classes in Genesis. Therefore, it does not create gradebook
classes for those teachers. We are working with the developer to find
an efficient way to generate those class sections for special area
teachers. As soon as that is available we will communicate that
information to teachers.
