In both work and life as a whole it seems that the worst problems, maybe not the worst, but the problems we hate most deal in the mundane, boring, tedious, thoughtless, and downright boring tasks: data entry, filing out expense reports, transcribing audio, filing documents and the like. The reason we dislike these tasks has nothing to do with difficulty, rather they are exercises in patience and monotony. We often enjoy difficult tasks.¹

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. As Carmen Conner – the CEO of StudentGlance – told us at FETC, elementary school teachers often create class lists using tedious manual techniques that often take hours and hours. StudentGlance automates much of the process, and generates class lists as much as 90% faster than the current methods. Conner explained the software in much more detail inside the StudentGlance FETC brochure (PDF):

The Class List Generator is a convenient tool for teachers and administrators to create class lists for the coming school year. With a few clicks, teachers can enter student demographics, upon which administrators can immediately generate both heterogeneous and homogeneous class lists in a fraction of the time it takes to manually create class lists. All data is safely maintained in a secure cloud platform managed by Microsoft. 

A simple solution to one of the most tedious tasks that face educators. We had a chance to speak with Conner at the 2014 FETC where we saw StudentGlance in action:
