Great communication tool for teachers outside of classroom setting

Community Review for TalkingPoints
My Take
This product is effective at allowing teachers to communicate with students and parents outside the classroom. This speeds up the process of getting information sent out and in a more organized fashion.
How I Use It
I would use this product to further elaborate on lesson goals. Being able to state objectives for lessons allows students to revisit and understand if they have enough knowledge to move forward.

Just ok
This app is simply a communication tool to use with parents. It works fine for sending relatively short messages with attached pictures. I find myself constantly rewording my messages to fit within the 320 character limit. I have come a cross several problems using the app and I haven't found that their service team was able to solve the problem appropriately. For example, if a parent deletes the app, there is no way for the Talking Points team nor the teacher to change their message delivery to SMS. I will not be using this app again next year.
