New grading system!

I really can't wait to use a software like this for my own class!  It really makes things simple for us teachers.  I love that you can input all assignments and it keeps them logged in order and that it can calculate the students grade.  it also gives access to students and parents so they don't have to wait to  see any progress they can just log on and check as they please.  I didn't like that I had to manually save every comment because some would take a little while to load , they should just have pre written messages used all the time to facilitate things a little.  This would be very useful for teachers because it makes things very simple to organize and the program makes it easier to navigate through it too.

 I was born in Colombia and I was six when I moved to Middletown NY.  I will never forget my first ESL teacher because she was a huge help to me as a little girl. This is why I have decided to teach ESL-English as a Second Language.  Since I am fluent in both english and spanish I am also considering teaching spanish.   While visiting other countries I noticed the importance of language and I have become fascinated in learning all the different cultures.  I would like to know where others have visited and what you loved about it!
