Tools of the Craft
Importing Grades from Edmodo to PowerSchool
Another PLEF found this gem this week. If you use Edmodo in your classes, you can import those grades to PowerSchool. You have to do one assignment at a time and there are a few steps, but it might be worth it if you have a lot of students to input. I haven't tried it, nor do I know anyone who has yet, but here's a video that explains it. Let me know if you try it!
Import Edmodo Grades to Powerschool
Did you accidentally select "Always" when opening a file/link?
No worries. All users now have the ability to quickly fix this issue.
1. Open Settings
2. Scroll to APPS
3. Slide to DOWNLOADED or ALL APPS
4. Find the app you authorized as ALWAYSClear defaults.
