ClassJump School Sites - Ready For Beta Testers
Posted by on August 27th |
We've been busy creating a new school website system here at ClassJump. The system is not intended to replace websites that schools already have, it is intended to provide a one-stop location for teachers, students and parents to pick up school information while here at ClassJump.
The new school website system at ClassJump provides each school at ClassJump with a lot of options. Unlimited numbers of blogs, photo albums, news sections and calendars can be easily created for any topic you can imagine. For example, if you would like to create a series of web pages just for the Chess Club, or for the Soccer team, jump right in and create what you need at any time. If you are familiar with how easy it is to create your content for a class website here, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to create multiple areas of interest for your school site.
You can assign any teacher with a ClassJump account as an administrator for your school site. You can even assign a student as an administrator of their own special area of your school site!
We think we've created something that's amazingly easy to use and that many schools will find beneficial...but we're not really sure! That's why we're asking for a team of enthusiastic beta testers to help out, to kick the tires of the new system and provide us with feedback.

Here's an example of a test site we have created.

School Sites at ClassJump will not be a free service - Sorry!
If you are willing to become a beta tester, your school will provided with a school website at no charge for one full year.
After the beta test is complete, school websites will cost $21 per month, or $18 dollars a month for a full years subscription paid in advance.
School sites are completely optional. Teacher sites at ClassJump will ALWAYS be free. If your school does not want a school site here, that's perfectly fine. All of your services will continue as they do today.

New Features Coming to ClassJump
Posted by on June 5th |
ClassJump will be adding some exciting new features during the summer months! The biggest addition is the ability for schools to start their own websites here at ClassJump, which will tie all the teachers together into one school website.
What ClassJump School Websites will offer
- Safe and secure contact forms for all administrative school personnel.
- Document sharing with all teachers, both public and password protected.
- Ability for parents to sign up for their own accounts and receive email newsletters
- School calendar items posted automatically to all teacher websites
- Unlimited news articles
- Unlimited number of clubs and sports teams, each with their own calendars and unique pages, including photos
- Custom look and feel for each school, with their own banner across the top of the page which will replace the ClassJump banner on the school website and on all teacher websites within that school
This is a very big deal!
ClassJump will continue to offer free websites to teachers. The new ClassJump School Websites will cost a small annual fee, which has not been determined yet. ClassJump has decided to charge for this new optional service so we can raise funds to help pay for our server costs (which we currently pay for out of our own pockets) and to create more features available to teachers.
