About: I'm an instructional designer at the Hunter College Campus School. I support the effective use of technology in schools and classrooms.

I am also keen on the role of games in education. Please find below an ever-changing picture of me. You know, just in case you were curious.

Excel gradebook templates
Wednesday, August 30, 2006

image

This is an excel gradebook template I just finished.  I grabbed the basic layout (and some formulas) from here, and then added some cool features:

1) there are 5 different categories of assignments
2) each assignment can be weighted
3) the gradebook dynamically calculates the score depending on the category (which is cool, imho).

PLEASE tell me if you find any bugs and/or problems.

Thanks!
