Teachers
Welcome to pOGB. The links in the left column will take you to HELP pages for each function in pOGB. The links are also listed in the order they will be needed. For instance, when beginning a new year, the first thing you will want to do is set up the configuration for each and every class (before you start adding any assignments). Since this is the first thing you'll want to do, the Configuration link is the first one.
Step 1 of using pOGB is to log in. You've already accomplished that!
After logging in, you will be taken to your Teacher Schedule or Main Page. It will look like something like this:
On the left of the page is your teaching schedule by period. Note that it is broken into two terms, Semester 1 (S1) and Semester 2 (S2), or it could be broken into Quarter classes, if you teach a quarter class.
To the right, for each period, are the following options:
Q1 - this stands for Quarter 1 of semester 1. This link will be used to create and modify assignments and to maintain grades and student data for quarter one.
Q2 - this stands for Quarter 2 of semester 1. This link will be used to create and modify assignments and to maintain grades and student data for quarter two.
Config - this stands for Configuration. This link will take you to the area to set up your class configuration. Here you will create your groups (categories) for assignments, set grade scales, and establish your grades as either Total Points or Weighted.
Final - this link takes you to the page for overriding and/or submitting final grades for the grading period.
Att-# - this link takes you to the attendance page where you will take attendance each period.
Summary Report - At the bottom is a link to access a Summary Report. When selected, this will export a report that contains a class list for each of your classes by period and term (quarter or semester, depending on what you teach).
Daily Bulletin - At the top right is a link to your school's Daily Bulletin.
Please return to the navigation column on the left and select the area you would like help with. Please note that the links are in the order that you would normally use them. For instance, Config is first and that is because you need to set up your Configuration for each class before you do anything else!
IMPORTANT!! The most basic difference between an ONLINE/Internet based grade book and previous application grade books we've used is that when you make any changes, enter data, ANYTHING at all, YOU MUST UPDATE or SUBMIT the data to the server (there will be some sort of SAVE, UPDATE, SUBMIT button on each page where you can enter or modify data). If you put in data and then close that page without SAVING - your data is lost!!!! Make a mental note to watch for these buttons and SAVE, UPDATE, or SUBMIT before you close a page!!!
