If for some reason you need to track grades for a particular student or group of students, you can use Schoolloop.

First, create a group by clicking "View All" next to the Student Tracker heading on your Schoolloop Portal home screen. On the next page click "Add Tracker." You will be prompted to name the group, write a short description if you would like, and select whether this is a personal group or a school-wide group. After you have entered all information, click "Create."

Next, you need to add students to your group. From your Schoolloop Portal home screen, click on "Student Records" under the Quick Links heading on the right. From the list of students, find the student you want to track, and click on the student's name. On that student's page, on the right under the Learning MGMT Team heading, next to Other Members, click "Join Team." You will be prompted to select a group and enter your relationship to the student. Click "Add" to finalize.

This group should now be displayed on your Schoolloop Portal homepage under the Student Tracker heading at the top. Click on your group, and you will have access to the grades of all the students you have selected in one convenient place.

This sweet add-on lets you zoom in and out with a single click. It's free and quick to install.

So here's your situation: You want to show a small control on the page you're demonstrating. And you need to magnify a small portion of the webpage VERY LARGE for your students to see it well on the projection screen.

Firefox does have command keys that do this (under the View/Zoom menu). Zoom In = ⌘+; Zoom Out = ⌘−; Reset = ⌘0. But is there a way to zoom in and out with a single click? And what if you forget which keys to use--is it the control key? The option key? The command key? The shift key? Some combination?

The solution: Install the nifty Zoom Page extension, located here. In less than 60 seconds you can add a nifty mouse-driven control to the upper right-hand corner of every browser window. Like so:



To use: Click − to zoom out; + to zoom in. Or click the percentage in the middle to jump to a specific size (the settings are customizable). Zoom Page has other nifty features, but the basics are quite useful. And to us, having this unobtrusive mouse control in the corner of every browser window is a blessing.

Zoom Page is easy to uninstall. Just choose Tools / Add-Ons from the Firefox top menu. Then click Remove. Done. Try this! We bet you'll like it.
