Students see their schedules and assignments and interact in a private social media-like system, safe from the public Internet. Parents see kids’ homework and grades. Teachers get course planning, attendance and assessment tools. Administrators receive school-wide analytics. Everyone gets what they need.
Because it connects to existing systems, classes in Edsby are pre-loaded with the right students and parents automatically. Attendance, an advanced grade book, course planning, parent communication and other features become a breeze, with no setup for teachers. And, we’ve specifically made it easy to learn.
Local policies drive regional educational standards. Because every region does things a little differently from the next, Edsby is completely customizable, even to districts’ unique grading and reporting.
Teachers that use free software and public social media can run afoul of CIPA, COPPA, FERPA, GDPR and other regulations. Edsby gives districts a single, protected “walled garden” for all communications between students, teachers and parents, so confidential information stays protected.
Edsby helps me have real conversations with my child about school. No more “it was good, mom” at the dinner table!
