Materials Needed for First-time Setup

• A sheet with student STI ID numbers
• Text for teacher intro portion of their webpage
• Access to grade file and location to drop webgrades in – “(yourname folder) on ‘kusd-dc\webgrades’(V:)”
• PLEASE NOTE: Chaddy will have to map a network drive on your computer to ‘kusd-dc/webgrades’(V:) before you can drop grades. This is a security precaution.

Instructions for First-time Setup

1. Open Easy Grade Pro so that your current grades/classes are on the screen.

2. In one class, select the “Student” tab (4^th tab). Locate the “Password” column and enter student ID numbers (from STI) as passwords. Repeat this process for each class.

3. Go to “File”, then “Internet”, then click on the “HTML” tab (1^st tab). Choose “Single-class Website Reports”, then type your name in the box labeled “Teacher:” as you want it to appear on the reports. Click “Next” – you have opened the screen where you will make all the choices you need before creating a webgrades page.

4. Click on either “One class only”, “All current-term classes”, or “Selected classes only”

5. Click on “Include Main Page Text”, then click on “Set”. In the space provided type an appropriate introduction. It may be specific and changed weekly, or it may be generic and left the same all year. (See sample on the back side of this sheet.)

6. Enter your e-mail address in the box labeled “Email:”. (Your e-mail address will be listed on the webgrades page.)

7. Click on “Use Custom Student Title”, then click “Set”. Click on “Student Name” and “Exclude ‘Line 1’ from internet reports”, then click on “Done”.

8. Make sure that “Include Grade Summary Chart” and “Include Assignment Chart” are both checked.

9. In the box labeled “Grades:” you may choose from “show as Percents only”, “show as Grades only”, or “show as Percents & Grades” – choose one of these to display what you want in the webgrades page.
