I think that blackboard is an excellent sight to use for college students. It provides students with everything they need for their own records and allows them to have everything on one website. It provides an email service so you can get into contact with your professors and other classmate. You can see your grades, GPA, and your classes. It also provides information about any organizations you are in or some you might be interested in joining.
There are some downfalls to the website. Some teachers do not know how to use the website, so your grades aren't posted by that professor. The tabs for certain things are not clearly labeled, so you may have to search for what you are looking for. I feel that by teaching all professors how to use the website will make blackboard more useful. I also think that it would be a great website for highschool students to use as well. I feel that it can get parents more involved with their students grades and attendance! campus.fsu.edu
I think that excel will be useful for me for recording grades. It makes everything easy to see and you can edit it at anytime. You can easliy get averages of tests and see where students are struggling and doing well. I will be teaching elementary grades, so I don't find much use for them for my actual lessons. I think that they are good for keeping record, such as attendance and for who has turned in assignments. I will probably only use excel for my personal records when I teach.
