Useful Links For Shoestring Budgets

Online Quizzes and Gradebooks:
  • Mygradebook.com (guest passwords: future/12345 or granite/12345)
    - http://www.mygradebook.com/ 
    - yearly cost ~$40, secure 
    - UPDATE: Unfortunately, as of July 31, 2013, MyGradeBook will be closing. I have been using the Quizlab portion of this site for 11 of the 12 years they have been online and I'm quite distressed that this valuable learning tool will disappear. I am currently exploring affordable options and would welcome any suggestions. (10/10/11)
  • Moodle  (Demo Site)
    - http://demo.moodle.net/
    - free, complete course management platform, complex, requires local IT support
    - UPDATE: Blackboard is offering free individual teacher sites. NO IT support needed.

    - free, educator options, easy to use
  • Google Websites (sample - SCT11 Google Web)
    - sites.google.com/
    - free, many options, not particularly user friendly - not drag and drop
  • Google Chrome (sample - try connecting to bcesis)

    - no frills, fewer web editing issues and conflicts with bcesis, weebly + google docs
