What are schools using for their software? I would like some help in this area.

Thank you!

Here is a link to a lot of software; http://www.capterra.com/school-administration-software?gclid=CKH50Zz5s54CFSReagod9mcUmQ.

Has anyone used these programs?

Does anyone know what the korean schools are using?

[Mr. Pink]

My international school uses GradeQuick which I personally think is a piece of crap. Back in Canada I used MarkBook which is a much better program.

For doing grades when I worked at a Korean school we had to log into the government's website and input them that way. IMO it was the worst way to implement, but they wanted to set up a system that prevented certain types of cheating. Exams were scanned and automatically uploaded to the government site, so you could only change things during a grace period and the government would audit the results. I am glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore.

Are you talking about classroom/grade management or course/school management software?

Big difference between the two.

Here's a list of course/school management software:

Also check out dimdim. An interesting delivery tool.

If you're looking for classroom/grade management software, gradebook, renweb will do most of what you need (paid, of course).

Some free alternatives:

Whatever you decide on, remember that it will take time to learn the program. Read up as much as you can on the freeware/open source alternatives before you bite.

I am looking for something that will manage grades, organize schedules, maintain teachers info, keep our inventories of books on file and etc.

This is pretty old...do you know of anything that is newer or do they have updated versions?

[SeoulnPepe]

Not much in the open source arena. Plenty of places still use moodle.
