DID YOU KNOW? The teacher signature you create in your TalkingPoints profile appears in each message you send to families. That way, whether they are receiving messages in the Parents app or SMS texts, they know which teachers they're communicating with at all times!

Tripling the reach of one’s service in just four months from 500,000 to 1.5 M would be impressive and rewarding for anyone. But for TalkingPoints, a non-profit with a multilingual tech platform that helps teachers communicate with families in 100+ languages, scaling rapidly was a response to an emergency situation. https://talkingpts.org/racing-to-scale-during-a-pande/5133/

We'd love to get some feedback from TP teachers now that the 20-21 #schoolyear is a quarter of the way through! How are you feeling? Is it getting easier? Are you finding your groove? #education #k12

Last night was the 1st meeting for the TP Teacher Advisory Panel! We talked about everything from hybrid learning to building relationships, but most importantly about how to continually work as a team to make TalkingPoints the best family engagement app out there for teachers!

#ICYMI TalkingPoints will be adding video captioning as a new feature sometime during the 20-21 school year! Make sure you're following us on all social platforms to stay up-to-date on feature releases.

DID YOU KNOW? Teachers can attach photos and videos (up to 5 mb in size) to messages they send to families. And soon, those videos will be captioned and translated for each recipient in their home language! #edTech #edEquity
