SGD – Teachers Management System
SGDWeb is a system created by Tecnausa that can be used by teachers to store information in a local server about timetables, grades, attendance, incidents and notes about the students, so every parent, teacher and student can access this data online. It is a tool made by teachers for teachers, aiming to make the managing tasks and paperwork easier and faster, and to improve communication between teachers, parents and students. The core component of the system is the SGD Software, which processes and administrates the data stored by the teachers into the handheld terminals, D!"s or #"s.
Whenever a teacher stops using the terminals, these are introduced in their slots in the central unit, which will transfer the data automatically into the main server located in the building, and therefore into the whole $thernet, including all the terminals, computers and D!s connected to it. $very day at a prearranged time, the data will be uploaded to the internet server for the parents, teachers and students to have online access to the stored s tored data through a web interface. !t present %&'(() this system is being being used in *'' institutes and schools in Spain, the state provides a budget to every school to be spent in school &.', and every school decides how to spend that budget, some of them get the SGD S GD system, some of them use other systems, and they also spend the money on intelligent whiteboards, computers, etc. +esides this budget, the Spanish government provides every student of *th and th grade of primary school with small laptops to be used in the school and even to be borrowed. There are plans to increase to the first courses of secondary school, although due to the actual economic crisis, the program may be delayed and even cancelled.
