Working Offline in PowerGrade?
It is better to always work online and connected to the network with an Ethernet cable. It just is. Over and over, teachers say, “But I’ve always worked offline, and I never connect with a cable. It always works fine!”
There are valid reasons for asking you to work online and plugged in with a cable. This advice is not coming from me. It’s coming from several different sources at Central Office, and I, for one, do not ignore what these people tell me. They are the ones handling the ultimate tales of woe — entire gradebooks lost or hopelessly scrambled.
Just because you’ve never had that experience before doesn’t mean that you never will have it. Minimize your chances for a big foul-up. Work online and connected.
