The best app for teachers

Why should I use an app for teachers?

As a teacher, you probably already know that staying in contact with your students outside of school can be challenging. Whether you have trouble communicating with their parents or you just want to have a tool that will help you stay in touch with them during these complicated times, you should try using an app made for teachers!

There are many digital apps and tools, free or not, created to help you maintain and even strengthen the link between you and your students (and their families at home) while also facilitating your teaching on a day-to-day basis. Indeed, these apps for teachers not only allow to create better teacher-parent communication, but can also include very practical features for classes, such as homework monitoring or attendance reports. However, with the wide variety of features offered by each app on the market, comparing every one of them can be a bit overwhelming! Skoolroom is here to help you find the best app for your teaching needs.

What are the advantages of Skoolr?

Skoolr’s primary objective is to include all the various actors of a child’s school life and education, i.e., both their teachers and parents. That’s why we decided to integrate an automatic translation system in our app: thanks to this system, everyone can write in their native language without worrying about translating into English! Furthermore, Skoolr is also compatible with Voice Over on iPhone and iPads for people with visual disabilities.

On top of being an easy way to communicate with parents and students, Skoolr offers many features for class management that will help you organize and keep track of your students’ work. Use the attendance report feature for roll call at the beginning of class, or Know Your Students to see which student might need differentiated learning strategies. The private messaging feature is a quick way to ask families questions, to get their ideas and keep them up to date on their child’s progress! Use the technology to share more in order to create a real community: this is the goal of the Skoolr app (available on IOS and android)!

What about other apps for teachers?

Since we know that it can be difficult and time-consuming for a teacher to compare all the communicating apps that exist, we decided to compare Skoolr with all the other main apps on the market! Indeed, our goal is to help you make the best choice regarding the app you’ll use to communicate with your students’ parents.
