Information

Percentally is a tally counter that automatically converts tallies to percentages. It enables progress tracking in education, athletics, and other activities. Educators, parents, students, athletes and coaches use Percentally to document improvement in various environments.

Percentally offers two options for tallying: dual and single tallies. The dual tally, or Percentally, converts tallies to a percentage. Just record the successes and total, then Percentally automatically displays the percentage. The percentage demonstrates the percentage accuracy of a given behavior. The single tally enables tallying of a single number. Use single tally to record the total number of times a behavior was demonstrated. The percentally and single tallies can include color for the background, success and total numbers.

Percentally is a mobile data tracking solution for the iPhone and iPod touch. It can track progress in different environments, including the classroom, field trips, golf course, and more. Use it around the classroom to track educational goals, such as Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals for students with special needs. Use Percentally to measure percentage accuracy of a student’s /s/ sound, percentage of homework completed on time, or the number of times a student interrupted. Percentally can also be used in extracurricular activities like sports. Measure the percentage of football passes completed, percentage of basketball free throws made, or number of putts in a golf round. The pupil or mentor can document improvement with Percentally.

Percentally makes it easy to manage tally entries. Tallies can be re-ordered and deleted as necessary. If a tally mark has been recorded in error, undo is available. When it’s time to re-start tallying, just tap the reset icon.

Options are customizable for clicking sounds and colors. Choose to receive audio feedback via the same, different, or no clicking sounds. If different sounds are selected, it’s possible to record data without looking, by listening to the audio feedback. Staff might, for example, use the different sounds to maintain sight of student behaviors. There are also color options for tally background, success and total numbers. Once colors are selected, new tallies will include the colors. The default colors can be overridden by the color wheel in the tally screen.

When data has been collected, notes can be added and shared along with the quantitative data. The tally’s title screen allows notes to be added. Then, go to copy the data and notes for selected tallies. Notes can be copied to the clipboard, a Google Spreadsheet, or email. The clipboard enables the ability to paste in another application. For example, use Safari to paste data in an existing spreadsheet. The Google Spreadsheet choice, on the other hand, adds a new spreadsheet.

Tallies can be organized in folders. Folders might be created for days of the week, a group of students, or one athlete. However you decide, the folders can facilitate an organization system that’s best for your tallies.
