It does a whole boatload of stuff, but apparently it’s extremely hard to use. Keep in mind, I’m hearing that criticism from Computer Science professors. I’d wager a bet that it’s much worse for professors whose subjects are unrelated to computers.

With that in mind, I’ve been working for the last month or so on my own classroom management web app. I doubt I’ll find many teachers or professors with this post, but if I do, could you please leave me a comment? Specifically, I’d like to know if you use classroom management software. If you do, what do you use, and do you have any complaints about it? If you don’t, what areas of your job would you like managed by software? Grading and student notifications (“You have a test in 2 days!”) are the obvious ones to me, but are there any good ones I’m not thinking of?
