First of all, Engrade was definitely not a user-friendly program.
Not only did it not allow for me to sign up, but they were not responsive to the questions I've inquired about the problems I had in signing up. Although as a student, I found Engrade to be extremely useful in providing grades for the class. As for Edit Grid, it was very easy for me to use this Web 2.0 program as it is exactly like Microsoft Excel.
I think it will be great if Engrade was more efficient in providing the help and support their users might have, responding to feedbacks of its users.
When it does work, Engrade will be a very useful way for teachers to keep an accurate track of their students' grades, also an easy way for students to find out grades on a daily basis. Edit Grid is a convenient tool for teachers that may need a program like Excel that they can access anywhere, anytime.
If Engrade does not improve the efficiency of the user sign up process, there won't be much teacher/student users of the program left. On the other hand, Edit Grid is extremely easy to use as it is similar to Microsoft Excel, with easy accessibility from anywhere with Internet access.

Hi Ms. Judy! I found your blog looking for other people who were having issues with Engrade. I'm an AP Biology teacher who decided to try Engrade for the first time this year...and I'm starting to regret it, mainly for the customer service issues (They never answer their emails! My students can't see their grades!) It's working on my end, though.
I'm an INFJ, too. Funny how so many of us are teachers, no?
Nice to meet you.
