Review Highlights:
This is the tool to combine all apps and communications for your school. It is the solution to all things ed tech in the classroom.
Classlink is the answer to any school's consistent problem of having too many teacher and student logins! As a K-12 education for 20 years I have watched the climate change from tech as a tool to tech as a way to teach and plan your curriculum - neither good or bad. The problem that has arisen though, because of so many amazing and specialized apps now available, is students and teachers forget logins or passwords or it just takes forever for 30 students to login at the same time. I always keep a sheet of paper on the wall with all app info for students to use and simply give them the same login for each app and just make sure they have it written down in their journal somewhere. Although this works most of the time, I think Classlink would be a step up. To think I could have all ed apps in one place! This is a wonderful addition to any school or classroom and will be needed more and more in the future.
Classlink is the perfect solution for the teacher that needs a single platform for all of his/her apps, files, and classes. It simplifies everything! Although I've come up with my own system to regulate and organize my student's assignments, I will now consider Classlink. Students can have all educational apps and files on a single screen, simplifying their click process. My students need to be logged into multiple apps with multiple usernames and passwords while clicking back and forth to access each one. Classlink streamlines the process for them to get to where they need to go. Any teacher knows that middle-grade students are easily distracted and end up getting sidetracked while accessing apps and files. Too many windows open at one time! This is the perfect hub to centralize all apps and files. Nice work, Classlink!
ClassLink helps teachers and students jump into learning by removing the time-wasting, tedious login process to programs and files from various devices. No more calling the IT guy needed. ClassLink solves a simple but very real problem of getting students quickly up and running in today's bring your own device (BYOD) classrooms. The software allows for single sign-on to all your classroom apps, files on your school network, manages class rostering, and who can access what. Plus, it's all in the cloud so you can access the portal from anywhere, anytime.
Spend less time accessing resources and more time teaching and learning with ClassLink. Although ClassLink does not specifically develop cognitive skills, it certainly simplifies the lives of teachers and students and makes the process of learning and teaching via digital devices a much better experience. I highly recommend it.
It is user-intuitive and easy to navigate. It's simple to keep myself updated on my student's classes, homework and progress. ClassLink is definitley easier to navigate than the other programs I have used.
