Their newest update to the market-leading Centricity platform seeks to increase functionality for students, increase involvement for parents and connect communities in social-media environments.
Education is transforming and in response, we are leveraging our decade of experience as an industry leader to deliver even more innovative capabilities within our solution to help administrators and teachers address new critical imperatives and continue to help students achieve success, says Edward Marflak, Schoolwires CEO.
The new Centricity allows school districts to combine the efforts of data systems at all levels of a school district. Now, web updates for the district website, the school website and the classroom website can be updated from the same portal. And with tools for creating student blogs and podcasts, students, parents and teachers will all be connected across the same interface.
After the original release of Centricity, Schoolwires sponsored the research study conducted by Project Tomorrow, entitled Speak Up. The results of the study, unsurprisingly, revealed that students today are more web-focused and learn better through a good home-school connection, facilitated by more web-based connectivity. Schoolwires hopes to aid this process as they roll out their Centricity update software later this month.
