It's All in the Documentation . . .

In my previous post, I said I would share an app for documentation.  So here it is . . . .
Super Duper Data Tracker!!!  (I tried to put a picture of the app icon, but I was unsuccessful.)  I really like this app.  It costs $1.99.  Here are some crude screen shots of the home screen.

This app allows you to set up individual students and student groups.  I have only input two of my 18 students because they have goals that are easier to tally.  For example, one kindergarten goal is to read the 44 kindergarten sight words my district assesses.  Here is what the set up looks like:

As you can see I have chosen to track incorrect/correct.  Using this selection, the app will calculate percentages each time I track this goal for this student.  Then it creates a graph using all of the sessions.  Each goal also allows me to add notes for each session that print with the graph report. (UGH! I can't win with these pics today.)

As I hope you can see, here is a session report for one of kindergarteners last year.  It lists his percentages incorrect & correct for each goal assessed.  In the upper right corner of the iPad screen there is a blue send button.  This allows you to email the report.  I used this feature to e-mail my school psychologist as she prepared an evaluation report for one of my students.  It gave her a graph for each of the goals as well as my notes on what his mistakes were.  It made sharing with parents quite simple and concrete.

For more complicated goals that can't be tracked my simply tallying or checking incorrect/correct, I am trying Evernote.  If you haven't tried it, it is definitely worth looking into for much, MUCH more than documentation.
