Flubaroo, it does the grading for you!

Yes, it has one of the stranger names you will come across, but it has awesome capabilities.  Flubaroo is a script you add to your forms in google docs.  With just a few clicks, it will grade your quiz/test and give you an analysis of your students' results. It is easy to use, just ask Ms. Nickum (she has become a huge fan!).  This is definitely a tool that will help lesson grading burden that we  all deal with.

Today's Meet-- Site for Easy Student Check In

I stumbled across the Today's Meet site today.  It seems to a great site for an easy check in/out of class.  The best part-- no logins!  If you have ever spent a day trying to get 120 kids logged on to a new site, you know what a great thing that is! It is one-click set up for you, and all the student needs its the website address with your room name. All the student does is give their name and their comment.  It could also serve as an easy online parking lot for questions.  Any other ideas on how you could use it?
