Kidspiration and Gradebooks

I thought tonight's class was a lot of fun. I like the convenience grading software provides. I can see how it could save a tremendous amount of time and the program seemed very easy to navigate. There were things about the program I would change ie: I would have more options in the gradebooks like making parts available rather than all or nothing.

I also enjoying playing with Kidspiration. I really like how it's so visual and colorful and it's super easy to change things around. I also really like how with the click of a button you can go from a visual, pictoral view, to a verbal outline view. I think kids would have a very easy time adjusting from using this program to applying the writing concepts to actual paper.
