Teacher Databases
I am looking for an idea on how we can manage 400+ teachers.
Currently, we use an excel database with filters. The file has become quite large, with several tabs, and it is difficult to find or locate specific information.l If a teacher changes room/location/phone number we have to manually change the information in our excel document. It would be nice if this database would give the teacher the ability to change that information.
Additionally, it would be nice if the database was online, with secure access, and easily exportable to an excel file or a csv file. Also if it allows teachers to view their professional development which they have taken and possibly upcoming courses.
Ideas tossed around include Access, Moodle, Zoho Creator and OpenCentre. However, I am open to additional ideas.

Access, or Filemaker Pro would be my first thoughts. I suppose it would depend what type of info you are capturing.
