Coffee Pot Software's Teacher's P.E.T. v2.0 extends the power of handheld computers for academic instructors. Teacher's P.E.T. uses the powerful built-in applications that come standard with handheld devices, based on the Palm OS platform, and extends their usefulness for teachers. The program offers teachers who use handhelds a complete solution, which simplifies the process of recording student grades and attendance information.

Busy teachers can use the system to create an assignment quickly and score it for their students. Student averages can be calculated at any time, providing instantaneous feedback to students, parents and administrators. The software can also be used to record and report on attendance with tools that make it easy for teachers to notify parents. Integration with core applications also allows teachers to send e-mail report cards quickly and easily. Coffee Pot Software, Ottawa, ON, www.coffeepotsoftware.com.
