ISTE NEWS: FreshGrade Launches ‘FreshGrade Next’

FreshGrade  announces the launch of FreshGrade Next. Using the same technology as consumer social media, the platform gives administrators, teachers, students and families access to a communication system that simplifies interaction and emphasizes engagement.  FreshGrade Next is a learning network that combines elements of lesson planners, portfolios, communication systems and gradebooks into a unified experience.   

FreshGrade Next integrates four staple FreshGrade resources into one network:  

 

 ● Lesson Planning
– With lesson planning, teachers craft a shared journey that aligns activities to standards, frameworks and assessments while maintaining flexible control over lessons to meet school and district requirements.
 ● Portfolio
– The digital portfolio brings student work to life through student-driven personalization, a learning journal, and diverse media to demonstrate learning.
 ● Communication System
– The communication system builds community with real-time insights, a conversation toolset and mobile access to make engagement equitable.
 ● Flexible Gradebook
– The gradebook guides students to success, with features including flexible assessment, an evidence-driven gradebook and the ability to group students in any way that supports learning. The gradebook enables standards- or score-based grading.   

Interested teachers can create a free account and setup classes for next year.  See it in action at booth 646 during the ISTE 2019 Conference.
