    We are also looking at launch Frog Parent this school year.  We do not have MIS integration her across the pond.  Any thoughts on the best method for creating the 6000+ accounts?  

    Very carefully......... :P

  2. Well had MLS Eclipse.net for almost a year.....  there was a single sign on module you had to pay for to get it to work though Frog!!  Librarian hated it...  didn't work for him...  so we gave up and got our money back!!  I didn't think it was that bad and the issue we had might not have 100% been down to them.....  but hey I didn't get involved!!!!

  3. Right then guys....  FrogSnap...  you know how we have been pushing this as one of the "flag ship" bonuses for using Froglearn!!!  Frogsnap can do this...  and Frog snap can do that....  Frogsnap is really use on school trips..........  And you know how loads of school with more money than they know what to do with spent loads of money on iPads......  and you know how the iOS 10 update has been on the cards for a while...   and then betas been out for a bit....  and every other big name has been releasing iOS fixes for months.....

    So....  Erm...  iOS 10 came out the other day.......   erm..................... what happened??? :o

    I've heard similar stories about schools talking about Ofsted accounts. 

    I think it's a great idea and will happily put together something for everyone to use - if I know what's needed.

    My thinking so far:

    • a dedicated site for Ofsted, one which is updated continually, so there's no rush when the inspection is announced.  
    • Staff / Teacher level login - rather than using the Other profile, but using Rules to create a custom Ofsted dashboard

     

    The site could contain pages with:

    • Latest and archived student academic reports
    • Latest and archived Pupil Premium, SEN etc...
    • Previous Ofsted reports (useful for quick reference)
    • a Governance page - would this contain minutes and committees or just lists of members?
    • Links to OFsted Guidance - handy to check when updating information
    • A gallery of student work - probably a timeline to allow for descriptions to be included

    Anything else?

    How long did it take you to type this????  I mean not being able to use both hands???

    But I was thinking along similar lines!!!

  5. I know a number of very forward thinking schools have thought about how to left Ofsted inspectors see what great work Is done on Frog!!!

    So rather than reinvent the wheel I was wondering what kind of things you let them have access too....  and how!!

    Easy stuff for early door in the new year!! :D

     

    Thanks in advance!!

  6. We started released Frog to our Y9 parents last year (we're a high school)!!!  Luckily for me we use another system to give parents access to our SIMs data...  so once the accounts were created on that I just mapped the usernames and password to the corresponding accounts on Frog!!!

    We use were on Frog 3 up until this September but we have currently launched a "hybrid" with staff with the idea of moving completely across by next Sept.... maybe...  if Frog can pull there finger our and give me what I want from Frog 3!!!!!!  :P

    Parents have access to:

    • Homework - its a school policy that all "meaningful" homework is set on Frog!!
    • Students Time table
    • Subject Advice - Some advice from departments about what things could be useful for that subject, specific resources, websites etc
    • Homework Setting Polices - Each subject have explained what there homework setting polices are so parents will hopefully stop complaining they aren't doing any
    • Access to information around E-safety
    • A link to Insight
    • And access to our termly Newsletter

    And because the accounts site on Frog 3...  we can allow them to change there own password....  and if they have forgot there password they can automatically be emailed a reminder if they remember there username!!

    So...how was your first day of school?

    Anything been thrown at you yet?

    And, as a quick FYI, in case you haven't heard, I'm off at the moment, having broken my arm at the shoulder.  So I'll check in here occasionally, but hope you like the new video tutorials I'd prepared earlier:

    Oops!   I've had to ask for this forum to be reset so many times over the last couple of days that I completely forgot to add Frog3.   

    I see you've found the custom user title :D

    Maybe you might want to look into blocking that...  open to lots of abuse!! 9_9
