A very interesting platform was launched in the educational area. It's called HotChalk and is ment for teachers, kids and/or students and parents.
Teachers can find their school in the database. When they join, they can create pages for their own class(es):
They can give their students assignments, put downloads on the site, give an overview of when they'll be having this class, the kids/students can discuss with their teacher about all kinds of topics related to the class, etc.
Teachers need to invite their students to the class' page. The students can only log in using a specific class code. So much is possible on this platform. Also parents can log in and see their kids' grades, for example.
Find this a very interesting initiative, can imagine this makes a lot of things so much easier. Why would you use your agenda to write down your homework, when you have this?
