Educators and school administrators spend an extraordinary amount of their time performing these tedious, mundane tasks. StudentGlance has a solution for one of the most tedious of these tasks: class list creation.

No matter the conference or which topic/industry the conference is concerned with, we always pencil in a stop at the Griffin exhibit. The 2014 Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC) is no different. While Griffin is a leader in many accessory categories, we were surprised to see how much work they have done in the classroom. As the classroom is rapidly changing, Griffin offers many products to help teachers and students alike keep up with the evolving education landscape.
