Live Blogs

With the growing popularity of blogs over the past five years, my goal was to create a safe, password protected online community for students and teachers to post blogs. Since 2004, over 30,000 people have blogged safely using the ClassChatter.com system. For the first time ever, ClassChatterLive offers the ability to electively publish your classes' exceptional blogs to the Web.

Live Homepage

Now each class you create in ClassChatterLive will have its own easy to remember live web address. Each homepage can also be easily turned into a custom blog complete with its own RSS feed. What a perfect way for keeping parents informed with what's going on in your class! Students can bookmark the page or even view it on their smart phones. Now your class is accessible throughout the world.

cMail

Have you ever wished that you could electronically exchange messages with your students, but you felt that most email and instant messaging seemed unprofessional? ClassChatterLive features cMail, which works as easily as email for rapidly communicating messages to students, but without the need for email addresses. For the first time, ClassChatterLive offers fully monitored student-to-student messaging for all your collaboration and sharing needs. Like all features of ClassChatterLive, the teacher is in full control, and all messages are archived permanently for safety.

Podcast

Educational podcasts are becoming a proven part of pedagogy. Distributing them to your students has never been simpler then using ClassChatterLive. Simply upload your file, and your students can listen to the podcast directly from the web site, no iPod or external software is needed. Students can then blog and comment on the podcast using a special ClassChatterLive blog associated with your podcast.

Electronic Dropbox

ClassChatterLive introduces electronic dropbox and resource distribution. Now your students can anonymously receive and submit files in a personal dropbox. Teachers can also distribute electronic documents and files to entire classes using the electronic resource distribution network. The files are stored on our secured site and available to any Internet-enabled computer and/or portable handheld device.

Assignments

ClassChatterLive works just like an extra set of hands in managing the daily tasks of your classrooms. Create, manage and grade assignments online. Students can complete ClassChatterLive assignments directly on the web site. Each assignment is time stamped, accessible for grading, archived on your password protected Web site. With ClassChatterLive assignments, administrating tests just got a lot easier, plus you can feel good about helping to save the planet (less paperwork, more trees)!
