Absolutely LOVED this extension. LIFE SAVER. BUT.... it needs to be updated. As Frontline is changing their domain name (getting rid of the TEAMS portion...) it no longer works in Frontline. This is going to affect ALL the folks who use this extension for grades. Of course Frontline messed it up. I hope the developer is finding a fix soon. I have 230 kids and I don't want to have to go back to data entry from window to window. ---AISD high school teacher.

This extension is great! I do not think I could manage grading 150+ students work without it. It transfers grades without errors from Canvas to my gradebook. I have been using it for 2 years and have never had an issue with it.
