I'm pretty sure I found this app listed by a reputable resource.  Here's why it's not yet worthy of accolades... The app is easy to get, but you also need to pay an annual access fee.

ADDING STUDENTS: to add students, you have to add each individually; fine if you have one class, but an inconvenience if you have more. The objective is to track your assignments and use of Common Core Standards. Adding an assignment does not include the ability to write a description of the assignment; it does not allow you score by a rubric; it does not allow you add comments. A lot of work still needs to be done.

In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, every one of us-from schoolchildren to college students to working adults-needs to know how to learn well.
