It’s been a little while since I’ve had the chance to make any significant improvements to GradeMate, probably a little over a year, which I apologize for. However, all of that is about to change as GradeMate will soon go through an entire shift in its direction and purpose.
What does this mean for you? Well, all of the features you currently use and expect from GradeMate will still be available. Nothing is going away. However, the look and feel of the application will be a little different (and prettier) and there will be a whole lot more you’ll be able to do with it.
Most of the changes are going to be gearing it to be used in the classroom. Project pages, book reports, enhanced sharing and collaborating, a blog feature, and a whole lot more is slated for development through Spring 2010. I’ll be sure to keep you posted but for those interested, send me an email at mike@mygrademate.com if you’d like to be included in the private beta to test and provide insight/feedback into the new site.
Stay tuned for more!
