Welcome! We're always working to make the app better so you can easily engage with your students’ families. This update enables you to see new reaction emojis that families can use for your messages. You’ll find that you can now remove a class nickname if you added one. We’ve also fixed a few bugs, too. Make sure you've got the latest and greatest version of the app!
The TalkingPoints Teacher app helps teachers reach all family members and guardians, regardless of language, via text messages in 125+ languages. Our translation is done by a combination of human translators and machines, allowing for seamless communication with all of your families.
TalkingPoints helps teachers
• Communicate with non-English speaking family members through automatic 2-way translation
• Quickly send messages to one family member, a group of family members or to the whole class
• Keep their cell phone numbers private by sending text messages through the app
• Attach pictures, videos, polls, and files to text messages to share what students are learning in school
• Preschedule messages to go out when families are available to read them
“Teachers have busy schedules and don’t have a lot of time to learn how to use a new tool, but what I want other educators to know is how easy it is to communicate with parents through TalkingPoints. I love it and use it everyday!” - Ms. Cardenas, ESL teacher
TalkingPoints is free for teachers in the U.S./Canada. Sign up today!
