VoiceThread & PowerPoint

I took a powerpoint and saved all my slides as jpeg files. I uploaded the jpegs to VoiceThread, added some commentary and came up with this (keep the comments about Powerpoint Hell to a minimum, I'm experimenting!):

When Parents Request Grade Reports...

Whether you have your grades online or not, sometimes parents request a grade report at all times of the year (not just every 5 weeks). You can save single student (html format) reports to attach to an email to send home. If you use the "student notes" feature of EZ Grade Pro to document student behavior, or when phone calls and emails are done you can also choose to include these comments in the report. Finally, if you also use EZGP to track attendance, you can select to include the attendance report. I am using the attendance feature this year because I can better tag student attendance...using absence excused, absence unexcused, tardy excused, tardy unexcused, music lessons, and other codes. Now in one place, I have a pretty complete picture of the student that can be shared digitally.
