[Q] Need gradebook/spreadsheet app

---

No responses when it was first posted in the general android section and got swallowed up quickly by the other threads.

Does anyone know if there is an app that would act like a gradebook/spreadsheet function?

I'm a school teacher, and have been using a gradebook to mark completed tasks. For example, when doing the 1.5 mile, it takes each student 3 laps around the school to complete. So as they pass, I put a check by their name. However, I'd like to ditch carrying around the paper and pen. I could create a spreadsheet and upload to docs but I'd like something that's already pre-existing so I don't have to spend a ton of time creating it. Plus it'd be a pain unclicking checks or entered data for each reoccurring class.

I don't know about a gradebook, but there are tons of spreadsheet programs. Docs to go, quick office just to name a few. The stock ROM had Polaris office, I never looked to see what it did.

Unfortunately the programs that will edit the sheets seem to be pay versions. You could also do a notepad, but you would have to transfer that back into your computer later.

Another thought: Google docs. I have played with word docs, but not spreadsheets, Google docs may work for you, for free.

I have the paid version of word docs/spreadsheet/ppt/etc and google docs would work. I thought about that but I'd still have to enter all the names and everything manually...that seems like more work for trying to get out of work.

What I need is way to copy and paste my attendance sheets onto an excel sheet and have it be editable. Is that even workable?

That should be workable several ways. Create the spreadsheet on the computer and use USB, dropbox, an email "draft", or Google docs to open and edit the document on your phone.

If you use USB to copy you can edit with the office app, then copy back over USB. If you use dropbox with a folder on your computer you should be able to edit it, and save it on your phone, and the copy on your computer should automatically update. Google docs would be similar except you would need to download the file.

Alright! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll work on it this weekend.

I wonder sometimes if with all the technology we don't end up making things more difficult on ourselves while trying to make things easier.
