ClassConnect for Students

Just like Eric Simons, creator of ClassConnect, many students find that working collaboratively with classmates on computers and using videos and web tools makes learning interesting. But, too many students aren't getting the opportunity.

Teachers have little time to find, build, and share their lessons. With morning and afternoon duty, little to no planning time, after-school activities, grading, and many other things, it's a wonder they have time to actually teach.

ClassConnect helps students by helping teachers. With one click, lessons and resources can be shared with students. And any time the resource is updated, the student receives an automatic notification.

Teachers can share YouTube videos, PowerPoint presentations, PDF documents, and more. Students can watch, view, or read these files before, during, or after class when it's most convenient.

ClassConnect can help flip the classroom with its easy share options and automatic notification of updated resources. Students benefit through more use of tools and resources that are comfortable for them. Instead of mondane worksheets, students have a rich learning experience where they have a say in when to watch, view, or read classroom assignments.
