Chalk (Planboard) is a fantastic resource for teachers. Digital planner is amazing, and even links to curriculum expectations.

I was introduced to Chalk a few months ago, and it has really been great using it, the way it's presented makes it easy to understand the data about classes, and lessons in particular.

The ability to do things like place videos and links in lesson plans is wonderful. Also, being able to share lesson plans with teams is so beneficial.

Setting up classes was a bit tricky. Not all features work on IOS devices.

There are many things you can use this platform for, including grading, planning, and attendance. I mainly use it for the gradebook and it is very easy and helpful.

An easy to use app, allows me to plan my classes, the interface is very friendly and entertaining.

It is very confusing to use and difficult to see everything the is needed. I find it difficult to go back when looking at specific grades and specific classes while using the app.

Chalk has been really great for me in a teacher stand point.

Anything that helps me to see what I need to do in an appealing visual way is worthwhile in my book. I like to see things quickly and clearly.

This software is difficult to get started because the initial set-up is time consuming, therefore there is be patient.

I use this platform for my gradebook, after struggling to keep up with paper gradebooks for a semester.

This software is not ready for prime time. It has been an embarrassment as a corporate roll out.

My co-workers are generally confused on how to use it, and navigating it is cumbersome. The old systems were far more effecient.

Having to print 18 bus lists and manually cross out students and then add or remove additional students throughout the day as records change is tedious, time consuming and far too risky for error.

This software has made it easier to communicate. The ease of use with it is amazing.

It is extremely hard to use and has many glitches. Even the simple act of finding a student’s schedule requires multiple menus and is very glitchy.

I like that we can create our own field sets so that we can search by First name and even parents names. I also like how easy it is to download info into excel spreadsheets.

The only thing I like about using Aspen is that I've just gotten used to it.

We are working with Follett to provide easier access and seamless integration to 3rd party applications in areas outside SIS such as classroom support and collaboration tools.

Trillium did everything we needed with ease and we were able to do our jobs safely and successfully.

It does amazing calculations in the background that would be impossible to do by hand. The answers may actually mean something if you have the expertise to ask the right questions.

It is very evident that Follett Aspen cares about their customers and meetings their needs. I love that I can easily configure Aspen to meet the needs of my district initiatives.

Thereby threatening the safety of children if mistakes are made.

Integrations with other software products - all broke. Do not waste tax payer dollars on this product.

I love being able to download class lists into WORD documents so I can create quick tally sheets.

The most basic function that is missing is the fact that attendance doesn’t communicate with the Bus Manifests and remove and/or add students as their attendance info updates through the day.

Chalk is a cloud-based software that helps small businesses manage their operations. It is deployed through the web browser, and it is compatible with most operating systems and browsers.
