Google's New Assessment Tool - Fusion Tables on 2009-11-09
- First, setup Google Apps for education, it's free, and allows your teachers to collaborate on documents / spreadsheets. Next, create a wiki-spreadsheet for your school that has a column for the student, grade, teacher, class, and then any and every evaluative point throughout the year. That's it - no formulas or charts. All your teachers easily enter in the data, letting Google handle the work flow. Then, whenever you, or your teachers, or your data teams want, you fire up Fusion Tables and visualize the data.
