These Web 2.0 tools were designed specifically for students, educators, and/or parents.

1. Engrade.
   Engrade is a suite of tools that acts as a gradebook for courses, as well as a communication vehicle. It seems aimed at the grade school level of courses as it allows parents to participate. However college students and professors could benefit. Grades and scores can be weighted and listed by letter or number. Administrators can oversee educators' classes.
   
   Students: Check grades, atttendance and homework.
   Professors: Publish grades, attendance, homework assignments. E-mail weekly progress reports to students.
   
   
2. Chalksite.
   Chalksite handles some of the administrative tasks of courses, such as managing grades and assignments, and communicating with students.
   
   Students: View class assignments, your grades, or discuss homework problems.
   Professors: Set up workspaces for each class you teach. Add your students to the list and invite them automatically by e-mail. Post assignments, attendance, and grades. Assignments can have files attached that students can view. Chalksite also has messaging one-on-one or by group, as well as discussions similar to Web site commenting. Educators can also connect with parents and create teacher Web pages.
   
   
3. Schoopy.
   Schoopy is a classroom organizer application that also allows school Web pages to be created. It's aimed more at public schools than colleges, though it can still be of use. Parents can register and access the appropriate Schoopy account for a school, as well as participate in discussions. It's similar in spirit to Chalksite but also allows the creation of online communities and the designation of users as leaders or participants.
   
   
4. Gradefix.
   The name Gradefix is misleading. It's not a way to hack into an educator's grade database. Instead, it's a homework management system that allow students to easily schedule homework around classes and other tasks. Gradefix is designed to help procrastinators
