We run JMC here district wide for the lunch program. The accu scans were wearing down so over the summer we made the switch--it has been great! Everybody who is part of the lunch program says it is tons better than what they were using. Besides ease of use, they also liked the fact they could create family accounts. Our HS and MS this year all went on-line (attendance, grades & parent access). It took some a while to "change", but we have gotten nothing but compliments from the parents about it. As a tech coordinator, it was easy to set up, and I have always been completely satisfied with support. They are also good at creating/tweaking things within their program if you have reqeusts.
As a teacher, I think it's great. I can access the gradebook from home and work on grades via IP and don't have to mess with disks any longer (or just be tied to the school network to work on the gradebook). Also, because we have the online module, I notice a lot of students in the labs during their study halls checking grades and upcoming assignments, which I think is good. Next year the elementaries are implementing everything as well. For what it's worth-- Our JMC srever is a Mac, as is our web server. Our lunch staff uses PC's, as do some of our teachers, and we have had no problems. I have a Mac at school, but have a PC at home and have had no problems with my gradebook . . . -Jackie --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus on the server aea8.k12.ia.us] --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------
