LMS Reporting (3.1.4)

I used the Schoology website to during the previous Navigate quests.  Everything has been easy to follow, and the gradebook seems more beneficial than some other software that I have used.  The students' names are listed in rows and then across the top there are 4 options for the teachers to choose.  The first column allows teachers to select the grading period.  This will automatically eliminate the assignments that are not in the grading period selected.  The second column allows the teacher to choose the category for the grade such as daily work, tests, quizzes or participation.  It also allows a section for final exams.  The teacher can modify this section to choose how much each category will be weighted in the class.  The third column allows the teacher to order the assignments in the gradebook based on due date.  Lastly, the teacher can choose to column to bring up the grades that are marked excused, incomplete or missing.  I thought this was an especially useful tool because it allows teachers to see what students are behind with only one click.  I think this is a great options for all online gradebooks.  When teachers use this software correctly, there can be many benefits from the reporting system.
