ADT Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Who has it... or wants it.. and if you don't have it/want it what else do you use? We use something called Insight to currently give access to our SIMs data to parents. I've been "finally" asked to look into FrogParent as a possible alternative so just wondering what the Community think Any pitfalls.... any difficulties setting it up... any limitations.... What do you show parents... do you share any of this data with students/staff? etc!! Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoseley Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Since you have SIMs you should not have a problem with the setup. Frog Parent combined with the MyFrog app is great. My only suggestion is to make sure your teacher buy-in with setting assignments is high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have parents on Frog... ts a school policy that all "homework" (assignments) on Frog. Its was more from a data point of view what do you use FrogParent for? How do you let parents know about student exams? Our current system allows parents to see exam timetables!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoseley Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 This may sound like a lot of work, however, this about teacher buy-in. We are trying to have teachers create assignments set to autoclose on the day of the exam when creating the assignment they choose "other activity" label it as an exam with any prompts needed. Under resources, review materials can be added and for evaluation set as no mark required. all this information is available via assignment calendar or via MyFrog. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Seams like a mammoth job considering we have two women employed to deal with exams who create Timetables in SIMs (our MIS) and all we need is frog to pull them in!!! But thanks for letting me know how you do it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
