Synergy is a great place to store all student data; but it is a horrible gradebook.
Pros
- IEP and 504 are accessible
- student information is easily found in one place for teachers and administration
- Please update this process it is very slow
Cons
- very slow
- no autosave
- to make a student assignment excused you have to open 2 different screens and then make 2 clicks and if you do not save, everything you have done is lost
- memory needs to be improved so windows move faster
- a click for excusing assignments should be added instead of 3 steps to get to a new screen to only click one button that says excused. If you are excusing 3 assignments this can take over 5 minutes per student.
Most Important Features
- administrators and counselors have access to all student information in one place
- Teachers have a hard time entering grades, it is just too many clicks for simple tasks
Return on Investment
- it takes longer to do everything because it involves to many clicks to enter data and save it
- longer time
- because it does not autosave, you have to start from scratch if you hit the back button or change the screen
