Comprehensive Platform

Ensure easy implementation and adoption with a solution that gives administrators, teachers, students, and parents what they need—all in one comprehensive platform.

 

Point Solutions Create Problems

When contemplating moving your K-12 district online, you may have considered using various non-integrated point solutions—school and district Web sites from one source, email from another, lesson planning or grade publishing from a third, and file storage from yet another. Over time, this mix of single point solutions can become unsupportable both from a technical standpoint and from the perspective of your end-users. For your tech staff, multiple solutions mean balancing multiple software vendors, integration problems, and multiple applications to learn and support. End-users face juggling multiple passwords, various unfamiliar software applications, and duplicating their efforts, for an increased workload. In the end, multiple non-integrated point solutions create more problems than they solve.

A Solution with Something for Everyone

eChalk's comprehensive Online Learning Environment provides everyone in the district—administrators, teachers, students, and parents—with the tools they need to be successful, all within a single integrated infrastructure that is easy and cost-efficient to implement.

eChalk is...

  • School and district Web sites that provide a consistent, professional online presence and are automatically updated with any changes to data
  • An online classroom where teachers post assignments and resources for 24/7 access by students and parents
  • Moderated blogs/online discussions that allow students, teachers, and others to collaborate before, during, and after school
  • Web pages for departments, teams, and clubs that build community and school spirit and promote effective collaboration and organization
  • An email system that is fully integrated with your district's current system
  • File storage that enables students and teachers to save and access work conveniently from school and home
  • Grade publishing for students and parents to track progress
  • A Lesson Planner capability that saves teachers time and allows curriculum leaders and principals to run comprehensive reports on teachers' coverage of curriculum standards and identify gaps

All this exists within ONE integrated Online Learning Environment, rather than multiple point solutions that don't talk to each other or work in the same way.

The Benefits of a Central Meeting Place

The comprehensive nature of a system like eChalk's ensures that your district will be able to support the system from a technical standpoint—without creating extra work for your already overburdened tech team—and that your end users will have the tools they need in a convenient, easy-to-use environment, both necessary outcomes in order for your K-12 technology initiative to succeed.
