Teachers are bombarded with new applications every day. Some of them love the challenge of learning new things, and some do not. That’s why Edsby works hard to support all your educators as they learn Edsby, offering a variety of ways to help everyone get comfortable with the system in a way that works best for them.
To make things simple to begin with, Edsby was designed to work like the social media systems teachers already know and use. Who needed a lot of training to use Facebook?
Edsby performs on site or remote training in large districts, often led by former teachers. In large districts, Edsby and partners train local trainers so knowledge stays in the district.
Edsby can create videos using a district’s specific language and messaging to make the introduction of Edsby easier for local teachers, students and parents.
Prepackaged FAQs and dozens of training videos illustrate aspects of Edsby for teachers.
There’s a tour built into the Edsby product. First time users are stepped through the basics of many areas of Edsby and can review anytime they like. With videos.
There’s a place inside every Edsby system where teachers can pose questions for Edsby personnel. Answers are made available for other teachers to see and learn from.
Designated representatives in your team can connect with Edsby support personnel to obtain answers to your educators’ specific questions. Get real answers from real people.
Districts can be given a private Edsby server mirroring the district’s customizations so teachers and others can learn Edsby without compromising live student data.
Edsby finally gives teachers and students a secure, intuitive, powerful toolset to bring educational collaboration into the modern age.

This program has been a great help to me! I love how it easy it is to assess students as classes progress! All the information in one place is amazing!
Nadine DraperMusic Teacher, Greater Essex County District School Board
Edsby checked all the boxes. Teachers got access to info and a gradebook that can do qualitative standards-based feedback. The fact it also had calendaring and messaging was even better.

Great platform to maintain communication with both students and parents. Easy to access and use from any device. Students easily access information in class and from home.

Edsby opens communication with students and parents. Students can upload their own work, see teacher feedback and reflect on the feedback.

Students love the accessibility of Edsby and many of them use their mobile devices to track homework, upcoming events and extracurriculars. Parents are using it to track their child’s schedules.

I like a lot of the features Edsby has. Hard to pick just one.
Andrew TaylorTeacher, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
The report card and assessment tracking system is all we could ask for. And the privacy settings and ability to invite and block certain groups is seamless, which is very important for a school.
Mike PackowskiPrincipal, Linbrook School
I've been traveling from school to school training staff and students on Edsby. I like sharing how many cool new things Edsby offers us, especially in communicating with our parents and the groups feature to share information.
