Welcome to Assignment #1: A Review of the FreshGrade ProgramWhat is FreshGrade?FreshGrade is an online portfolio that is reshaping the way teachers assess the students in their classrooms. It is an ongoing assessment that shows what is happening inside the classroom. Instead of waiting three times a year for a report card to show up informing parents of how their child is doing, FreshGrade is a window into the classroom and parents can see how their child is doing as soon as evidence is uploaded by the teacher. FreshGrade also acts as a communication tool between the student and parent. Teachers can post reminders, send messages directly to students and parents. Lane Merrifield is the co-founder of FreshGrade. He created the company in 2011. Before creating FreshGrade, Lane had extensive gaming history and sold his game to Disney. Lane is now the CEO of FreshGrade. Lee Wilson, is the president of the FreshGrade company. Together they have created a company that has empowered students and teachers. Students can now showcase their work and own their learning.
