TalkingPoints

TalkingPoints is a communication platform designed to facilitate two-way conversations between educators, students, and families. It aims to bridge communication gaps by providing a user-friendly interface that supports multiple languages. The platform allows schools and districts to send announcements, reminders, and individual messages to parents and guardians. These messages can include text, photos, videos, and audio files.

A key feature of TalkingPoints is its translation capability. Users can communicate in their preferred language, and the platform automatically translates messages, making it accessible to a diverse school community. This feature is intended to increase parental engagement by removing language barriers that might otherwise hinder participation in their child's education.

The platform also offers features such as a family directory, event calendars, and the ability to track message delivery and read receipts. It is accessible via web browsers and a mobile application, allowing for convenient communication on various devices. TalkingPoints is often adopted by school districts looking to enhance their communication strategies and build stronger relationships with families. The service typically operates on a subscription model for educational institutions.
