Greetings! One of the things effective teachers are is organized. My Palm TX keeps me as organized as possible. But when you teach elementary art to a lot of kids(750), you need to be super organized. I can't be running back to my desk every second to record the fact that little Johnny just used a technique or discovered something new. The program that I use to accomplish this is Smartlist to Go from Dataviz. STG is a great database that I've used since it was called ThinkDB. It is very easy to use and has a wide variety of field types to meet your needs. One of the neat features I like is the tabbed forms. I created a database for the infromation I need to track student performance. Then, when I assess a student or observe something that is evidence of learning I can enter it on the spot. At the end of the day I synch it up to Microsoft Access. I only wish I had a camera on my TX. If you want to try STG, head over to
www.dataviz.com and download the 30 day trial.
