Revamping GradeMate and how it will affect you

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

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!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

GradeMate was featured today in LifeHack.org’s Ultimate Student Resource List along with two other services in their ‘11 online tools that students should check out’. Nothing greater than a little nod from a wonderful site. There’s some great resources they mention in their article, its worth taking a look at for anyone looking to add a little more organization in their life.
