ClassTag: a Teacher’s Best Friend
We live in a virtual world, where communication should be made easy, and within the grasp of our fingertips. As we begin a new school year, I know we teachers are looking for ways to be more innovative than the last, especially as we transition from remote learning to in-person. One of the most important aspects of our careers whether we are remote or in the classroom is family outreach and communication. ClassTag has made this complex journey of developing familial relationships and communication simple!
WHAT IS CLASSTAG?
To put it simply, it’s a communication system and event manager for teachers and families to utilize on a daily basis via the computer or app! Although it’s worth mentioning parents do not have to download anything to receive notifications :).
Their system allows you to send messages to your entire classroom or individual families, and NECESSARY BONUS: it has 100+ languages it can be translated into. Some additional perks?
See who has read your messages, and get notifications for parents that might need physical handouts
Includes photo and video sharing for all our classroom’s special and surprising moments
Google can be completely integrated into your system i.e. Google Classroom, Google Calendar, Google Meets, and Google Drive
Speaking of calendars, scheduling conferences/meetings, and getting reminders for them has never been easier
Everything is streamlined for the convenience of teachers and families. Whether you need classroom volunteers, donations, or classroom supplies to uploading this week’s newsletter, ClassTag does it all.
GOOGLE INTEGRATION
As educators, we understand the importance of Google’s Education system and all that it incorporates. Well, ClassTag has integrated Google into their system, making our lives that much easier. For example, rather than typing out each individual student’s name when creating your classroom at the beginning of the year, just sync it with Google Classroom. The same can be done when messaging parents and your Google Classroom posts, it’s all integrated! Not only can you share from the Classroom, but directly from your Google Drive as well. It just became that much easier to share newsletters, files, and other folders with our families. Ready to plan activities, meetings, or conferences? You can now sync your Google Calendar and add Google Meet to the mix! Having the ability to integrate Google puts teachers at an advantage and saves us time.
