Avis sur PowerSchool
Great for students and teachers
Commentaires : PowerSchool keeps students accountable for monitoring their progress. Most check it and use it on a daily basis.
Avantages :
I've used this software as both a student and as a teacher, and have always appreciated it. When I was in middle school and high school I would check my grades on PowerSchool, and it was always very convenient and easy to use. Now that I am a teacher, I like that I can easily upload grades and print reports through it. It is so smooth and quick to use and is a great way to develop communication between parents, teachers, and students.
Inconvénients :
It's a really good software and I don't have any major complaints. One downside is that students complain about the app being difficult to use and say that it crashes often.
PowerSchool
Avantages :
PowerSchool is an excellent product that provides all the needed features for any sized school. Assignments can be made and copied across courses. The grade book has multiple views to facilitate grading including assignment view, spreadsheet view, or Categories view. Grades can also be viewed by student as well. There is also a progress monitoring tool and can run various reports based on variety of inputs. Overall, PowerSchool more than covers the basics needed within a classroom and contains many advanced options for experienced users.
Inconvénients :
Without direct assistance, learning the features that a school district requires can be daunting. PowerSchool has many help options, but sometimes that are not the best learning tool when trying to learn a brand new system. Older teachers who relied on a paper grading system may struggle switching to a complex digital system such as PowerSchool.

PowerSchool - Dated Software
Commentaires : It was difficult to use and often disrupted our day to day functions instead of improving them. The amount of training needed was too much and too often. It is definitely not cutting edge.
Avantages :
It is used by an immense amount of schools and school districts. It has a lot of features and components.
Inconvénients :
It is like the database programs from the 80's and 90's. It has survived so long by integrating itself so deeply into so many schools. The reason it is popular is only because it is irreplaceable in these large, districts. The cost is exorbitant. The features often cost more to add on. Even normal, everyday procedures can be difficult and need training. Training is farmed out to businesses that charge even more money. It has a very old interface. Nothing is graphical or visually pleasing. Often you must learn old database terms and codes to affect changes in the software. With the amount of money they must be making, you would think they would create a new product that is easy to use, easy on the eyes, etc. But I guess then they wouldn't be able to charge all the extra fees to learn how to use it.
Does the job, could be better
Avantages :
You can see your grades at a glance and this is really convenient for students. You can make submissions through Google Drive without relinquishing your ownership of the document like Google Classroom does (I understand the premise of that strategy, but it's majorly inconvenient).
Inconvénients :
Unlike in Canvas, you can't test what kind of grades you'll need on weighted assignments to maintain a certain overall grade. The UI/UX are also designed kind of poorly and my school frequently gets errors saying that PowerSchool is undergoing development. I never get those messages from Canvas. It's also extremely frustrating that I can't submit documents from Google Drive if they're in a Team Drive, whether or not they're owned by me.
Effective LMS
Commentaires : Our school adopted Powerschool in the last 5 years. This program is way better than the system we use to use. Great for overall attendance, student records, and grading.
Avantages :
Fairly easy to use for K-12 education. Attendance is a breeze and helps maintain accurate class grades and records.
Inconvénients :
Not too many cons to report. Data records for families and emails tend to be a little hard to access, but this could be how our technology department uploaded this information.
