TEACHERS | TalkingPoints

TalkingPoints is an application designed to help teachers communicate with non-English speaking family members. It offers automatic 2-way translation, making it easier for teachers to connect with families who may not speak the same language. This feature allows for effective communication and understanding between teachers and parents, ultimately benefiting the students.

The app also allows teachers to quickly send messages to individual family members, a group of family members, or the entire class. This saves time and effort for teachers, as they can easily reach out to multiple families at once. Additionally, TalkingPoints allows teachers to keep their personal cell phone numbers private by sending text messages through the app. This ensures the safety and privacy of teachers while still maintaining open lines of communication with families.

Teachers can also use TalkingPoints to share pictures, videos, polls, and files with families. This allows them to showcase what students are learning in school and keep families informed and involved in their child's education. The app also offers the option to preschedule messages, ensuring that families receive them at a time when they are available to read them. This feature is especially helpful for busy families who may not have time to check messages during the day.

One of the best features of TalkingPoints is its user-friendly interface. It is designed to be easy to use, even for teachers who may not be tech-savvy. This makes it accessible for all educators, regardless of their level of experience with technology. As Ms. Cardenas, an ESL teacher, shares, "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!"

TalkingPoints is free for teachers in the U.S. to use, making it an affordable and accessible option for educators. With its focus on privacy and user-friendliness, it is a valuable tool for teachers looking to improve communication with non-English speaking families.
