One of the goals of the Teacher Interface is to increase parents' involvement with their child's education and progress by permitting teachers and parents to communicate on a public or private level. Teachers can, for instance, post class goals and make this information accessible to all. They can, on the other hand, create a class attendance list or post plans for a class field trip and make this information accessible only to parents of their students. In addition, teachers can include contact information as to how they can be reached. Teachers can add text, images, and information on how people can contact the teacher and links.
Teachers can also set up a chat room and message boards.

We provide free and empowering tools to allow them to use the Web successfully.
