SchoolNotes: Simplified Note Pages for Teachers

Data Sense's SchoolNotes.com is not a comprehensive web-site service, but a free service designed to complement existing school web sites. Individual teachers can sign up and add and edit text on their own page. The information resides on the Data Sense server, and teachers simply make changes when they are on the web. The page can be linked to a school home page, or students and parents can be given the SchoolNotes.com URL. Parents can also request to be automatically notified by email when content changes. SchoolNotes.com does not yet offer the option of adding graphics.

Data Sense, Inc. president Ron Bocinsky initially designed the product out of frustration with trying to keep up with classroom activities of his four elementary school children, and he hopes to announce a sponsorship model to support the project this fall. That will likely include some national sponsors-with one in each of several defined industry segments combined with local sponsorships. Bocinsky is promoting the service through dicussions with PTAs and other education groups, and he is hoping that local sponsorships can include some sort of PTA fundraising component.

Bocinsky initially targeted elementary school teachers needing closer communication with parents, but he has since found interest from high school and college teachers wanting to stay in touch with students.
