Empowering Education: Unveiling the Orah Browser Extension Duo for Class Attendance and Teacher's Notes

Anyone who knows a teacher has probably heard the gripes about clunky software and admin tasks. Teachers take notes about the merits, behavior and demerits of their students in preparation for writing reports, and are expected to take attendance for each class. But the tools they get handed are just unnecessarily complicated–or nonexistent–and these tasks end up taking far too long to complete.

It ends up eating into their time that could be better spent connecting with students.

The struggle is real, and sometimes tasks just slip through the cracks or get pushed to the 'I'll do it later' list. The result? Messy, inaccurate data that makes it tough to get any meaningful insights at the leadership level.

Recognizing these problems, Orah is proud to introduce two new Browser Extensions, offering a revolutionary shift from tedious workflows to modern, seamless solutions without having to leave your browser tab.

The Orah Chrome Extensions

Unveiling Orah's new Browser Extensions for Chrome. These browser extensions are built to save school staff time by making it even easier to mark a roll or log notes about their students.

In this brief article, we'll explain how each extension works and how you can start using it.

Take Class Attendance with the Orah Roll Checks Browser Extension

Take attendance without changing tabs.

Educators can now mark attendance from a browser extension instead of a clunky SIS, spreadsheet or... pen and paper *argh!*.

Once the extension is installed, staff can open Orah Roll Checks in a side panel to mark attendance without having to leave their current browser tab!

Manage Student Conduct & Behavior with the Orah Notes Browser Extension

Enter a new era of conduct tracking with Orah Notes. Teachers can now make quick, insightful notes on student behavior, conduct, merits or demerits – moving away from clunky inefficient methods to a modern and accessible solution. This feature ensures comprehensive records for the teacher, fostering effective communication with students, parents, and administrators.

With the Orah Notes Chrome Extension, you can log and categorize teacher's notes on the go, as well as allocate house points, mark notes as sensitive or add a student to a 'watchlist' to escalate and securely share with your team.

Orah uses these notes to generate instant accurate student progress reports as often as you need them.

With the Orah Notes Chrome Extension, all you need to do, is take the note, categorize it and hit save. It’s so easy…

You can even add the incident to a watchlist so you and your team are aware of the incident.

You don't have to lose an hour each week taking attendance
