TEACHERS | TalkingPoints vs ClasStars

The TalkingPoints Teacher app helps teachers reach all parents and guardians, regardless of language, via text messages in 100+ languages. Our translation is done by a combination of human translators and machines, allowing for seamless communication with all of your families. TalkingPoints helps teachers • Communicate with non-English speaking parents through automatic 2-way translation • Quickly send messages to one parent, a group of parents or to the whole class • Keep their cell phone numbers private by sending text messages through the app • Attach pictures, videos, polls, and files to text messages to share what students are learning in school • Preschedule messages to go out when parents are available to read them "Teachers have busy schedules and don't have a lot of time to learn how to use a new tool, but what I want other educators to know is how easy it is to communicate with parents through TalkingPoints. I love it and use it everyday!” - Ms. Cardenas, ESL teacher TalkingPoints is free for teachers in the U.S./Canada. Sign up today!

ClasStars empowers teachers to understand each student’s unique learning process and to enable the teacher to have a positive relationship with each and every student in the classroom. We do this by providing a simple yet powerful interface to record student attendance and behaviors. The system then provides continuous visual feedback alerting the teacher to possible issues so that they can be mitigated early on. The application can be used as an Enterprise User which requires that your school has registered with us and that they have authorized you to use the application. It can also be used as a Single User version where you can add your own Classes and Students and manage them yourself. The Single User version (Bronze) will allow you to create a single Class and assign up to 50 students. You can upgrade to paid Silver and Gold versions from within the application. The paid version will permit additional classes and options which are explained during the subscription purchase. All versions will provide a Demo Class which does not count towards your class limit and provides a way to discover the application and learn the features. Tutorial Videos are available on each page to help you get started.
