School is a large community. There are
folks very savvy with technology and there are many not
comfortable with computers and Internet. For a solution
to work, it is should be embraced by everyone. It is hard
to get everyone trained. So you need a system that does
not require training for most users and needs very little
training for content managers and administrators. |
| |
| SchoolSpeak
is designed to make roll out, administration and the day-to-day
use of the system very easy. |
| |
| Parents
do not require any training. They can easily read, click and
find their way. |
| |
| We
have made it easy for teachers to operate the system. Posting
announcements is as easy as sending an email. A word processor
like interface is provided for editing content. You do not
need to deal with HTML. If you would like, you can draft the
content on desktop program and upload to SchoolSpeak. You
do not have to rely on someone to post your content. We have
optimized the teachers’ day-to-day tasks such as posting
homework or publishing grades. |
| |
| SchoolSpeak
is hosted and managed by us. So you do not deal with IT tasks
such as installation, upgrade or backup. You will be focusing
on tasks such as adding a new group, turning on a tool, modifying
the profile of a teacher, and giving permission to a parent
to send email. |
| |
| Rolling
out SchoolSpeak is very straight forward. You can train teachers,
add families and roll out the system in a week or two. We
will work with you in each of these steps. You do not register
all parents every year and hand out passwords. SchoolSpeak
maintains the history as long as the family is in the school.
Parents can reset passwords themselves if they forget. |

| There
are no separate areas for administrators, teachers, parents
and students. Everyone logs in at the same place. SchoolSpeak
presents content, provides options and lets the user operate
the system based on user’s profile. If you are a teacher
and have a child in the school, you can perform the duties
as teacher and parent from the same login. Your home page
will have information of your child and the classes you teach.
If you are a parent with more than once child in the school,
you still use the same login to access information of all
your children. Students, if permitted to use the system, have
separate login where they can receive only the information
relevant to them. Both parents have separate accounts and
their profile and permissions can be different. Does a child
live with a grandparent? SchoolSpeak does not restrict how
many guardians you can associate with a child. |
