SchoolChatter is a simple communication method that allows schools to quickly and efficiently communicate with the whole school community. SchoolChatter allows schools to set up chat feeds that can cover a number of topics, you can have feeds for the whole school, for individual classes, specific subjects or, most commonly, all of these. Parents, carers or anyone interested in the school can then follow one or more feeds to see content that is relevant and of interest to them.
On the posting a chat side, schools can set up specific chats that specific members of staff are responsible for. So, for example, a school can set up a Year 1 chat that the Year 1 teaching team post to. The school senior leaders (or whoever is responsible for whole school chats) can then re-post these chats to the whole school Chatter feed very simply and very quickly.
On the Chat ‘consumer’ side, someone interested in what is happening at the school can choose to follow one or more Chatter feeds, So, for example, if a parent has a child in Year 1 and a child in Year 3, they can follow the Year 1 and Year 3 Chatter feed to keep up to date with what their children are doing in school.
