Preparing the next generation of learners. We started ClassOwl to help students leverage technology to form better time management, organization, and communication habits in school. ClassOwl is an interactive assignment and planning application that bridges the information gap between teachers and their students. ClassOwl allows teachers to communicate what is expected once. The student has their ClassOwl planner across every device with built in homework reminders and deadlines. It frees up the teacher’s time because students have exactly the information they need to come to class more prepared. Our student pilots resulted in grade improvements, fewer late assignments, and less daily stress. Teachers noticed a decrease in the number of emails pertaining to assignment clarification and instructions. Are you a teacher that’s looking for a simple way to improve your classroom? We're now bringing on college and high school teachers who want to be involved with our private beta!
