O aplicativo Spring School - Tellme School é uma agenda escolar diária eletrônica otimizada em forma de aplicativo onde os alunos/responsáveis poderão ter acesso, através de seus celulares, de forma instantânea, a todas as informações que a escola repassar sobre os alunos. É, portanto, um app móvel utilizado pelos alunos/responsáveis para receber as informações diárias de seu interesse, geradas pelos professores/coordenadores das escolas, permitindo, ainda, o envio de informações por eles para a escola. Proporciona o acesso aos alunos/pais/responsáveis, através de seus smartphones, tablets e computadores, às informações do dia-a-dia escolar, tais como: - Rotina de sala de aula diária; - Avisos de tarefas de casa, - Envio de assunto de provas, datas das provas; - Mensagens que precisam de conhecimento imediato, urgente; - Avisos enviados pela equipe pedagógica e pela diretoria; - Avisos de eventos diversos (datas comemorativas, reuniões, etc.); - Aviso pelos alunos/pais à escola de eventual falta à aula; - Acesso direto a sites educativos indicados pela escola. O aplicativo Spring School - Tellme School engloba os mesmos campos das agendas de papel tradicionais, além de oferecer novas e exclusivas áreas de acompanhamento escolar. Desta forma, o aplicativo possibilita o registro desde informações de rotina diária a detalhes sobre informações e avisos diversos da escola, bem como, registro de acontecimentos por meio de imagens (fotos). Além disso, o aplicativo contém um campo de mensagens, onde a escola pode escrever informações importantes para os alunos e/ou seus familiares (responsáveis) e vice-versa. Destaca-se, assim, que o aplicativo permite que quando um professor registre informações em qualquer um dos campos da agenda ou grave uma mensagem para o aplicativo, os alunos ou seus responsáveis as recebam instantaneamente. As licenças deverão ser adquiridas junto à escola e serão enviadas aos alunos/pais. Os alunos/pais deverão baixar gratuitamente o aplicativo nas lojas especializadas e depois fazer o login com as informações que a escola enviou. Os alunos/pais poderão escolher em adquirir uma assinatura ou mais.
