While using TRGC Online, I noticed a few things about the way that the program worked that, though I was able to work around them, and figure-out what the program was doing, will create potential problems for my students (9th graders).

#1 While going through my Interactives, I've found that it would be easier if those activities that have been completed could have a check mark next to them. Any activities that need to be completed next should have an exclamation point next to them. I hope all of this is helping.

#2 The My Wish List screen has a typo. If you read the instructions, the first two sentences are identical.

#3 When using the online forms, such as the World of Work Survey, the four icons at the top should have pop-up names that appear when you place your cursor over the top. They are easy enough to figure out for me, but I use computers all day, every day. I'm afraid my students are going to forget and click the wrong button, causing problems.

#4 What would make it easier BY FAR would be to allow one to find a class of students, then have the edit button next to each (if that is necessary). But, without question, the requirement to select the program for each student must be taken out.
The easiest way to do all of this is to have the students within a class display in a spreadsheet format with all of the available fields shown on the screen. Then, I could update a student's record by selecting the Password column, update the password, then press enter, at which time the cursor would go down to the next row (student record), allowing me to update that one. This would save an enormous amount of time, and make student record management much more reasonable.

#5 When printing the World of Work Survey, I noticed that it was a total of two pages, but that the student's name only appeared on the top of the first page. In a class of 34 students, all printing at various times and onto the same printer, that will make finding both of their pages difficult, at best, and will likely result in multiple printings, thus wasting paper and toner. I would suggest placing the student's name at the top of page one, and the bottom of each subsequent page in the report. If this could be done for all printed reports that are student specific, this would prevent much confusion in the classroom, and prevent the possiblity for waste.
