The team at The Learning Curve are excited to announce the Electronic Learning Curve Planner, for 2012.

  • A means for students/teachers to track their progress towards their personal goals on a daily basis
     
  • Teachers will be able to post tasks/updates to class students, individual students and parents
     
  • Development of teacher-parent and teacher-student communications (i.e. to send/receive messages) supporting teacher-parent interaction through the ability for teachers to add comments regarding students and review responses;­ parents can respond and comment.
  • There is also a reminder function to flag overdue tasks for students/parents

 There are many more features not mentioned here, so please contact your local state representative for more detailed information.
