A tool that keeps assignments, reminders, and notifications in one easy-to-access spot.
Determining a go-to spot where everyone can access assignments, reminders, and notifications is key to a successful classroom. ChalkUp is a great option to do just that. It's a relatively lightweight learning management system (LMS) that encourages ongoing collaboration among students, teachers, and parents anywhere and anytime. It's cleverly designed and mimics social media platforms, making it easy to use and intuitive. From school to home, ChalkUp also allows dialogue to happen -- and learning to be extended -- wherever students (or teachers) happen to be.

K–5: Use the Student Activity Sheets after teaching the corresponding lesson.
6–8: Share the My Media Log activity with students so they can keep track of their digital lives at home.
9–12: Students can check their own and family members' digital savviness with our Got Media Smarts? quiz.
