What school administrators are saying about SnapTalk:

"I only had the demo for one day, but the reaction the staff had was so overwhelming I knew there was no point in delaying the purchase. Staff had messages and files zipping about the school before I could even distribute the manuals. I had previewed other office messaging products but SnapTalk is without equal."
--Simon Maledy, Administrator, St. Anthony's School (West Vancouver, BC)

"We are a small private school in Pennsylvania. Our school is spread out between three buildings. SnapTalk has greatly enhanced communication between the classroom teachers in the separate buildings and the administration, without the noisy intrusion of telephones. It is a wonderful way to communicate information to our school principal when she is in a meeting (which she almost always is).
--Tim Stonehouse, Director of Technology, The Quaker School (Horsham, PA)

" Our school is fairly large and spread out, so it's hard for an administrator or secretary to visit all the classrooms in a timely manner. Snaptalk allows us to send information to all classrooms quickly and easily. Teachers use it daily to communicate with one another regarding schedule changes, student absences, and help with curriculum. I have also been able to attach photos, small programs, updates, and antivirus DAT files to my messages which has helped speed up this process as well. Once school is underway, the phone or intercom is too intrusive. Snaptalk has allowed teachers to communicate whenever there is a "break in the action" in their classrooms.
--Bruce Crist, Tech Coordinator, Helen Wilcox Elementary School (Oroville, CA)

What teachers are saying about SnapTalk:

"The kids love it. I usually give them a subject to discuss that requires use of a specific grammar point or vocabulary. SnapTalk gives quiet kids a chance to express themselves in another medium. It works on "thinking on your feet," but requires a little more precision since errors are more obvious and you can't lean on body language."
--Henry Wilmer, Language Teacher, Phillips Academy (Andover, MA)

A breakthrough for students with special needs "Did you ever try and get eight deaf children's attention at once while they are working on the computer? With your program, I send a message to all of them at once and they can read it on their computers. They really enjoy using it to 'talk,' but while they are doing that, they are building their language and writing skills. It's great!"
--Janet Calvert, Teacher, Bruce Street School for the Deaf (West Cauldwell, NJ)

"Snaptalk has made our school building more efficient. I can communicate with another teacher instantly, without having to send a student. We have used e-mail, but often you must wait for the other teacher to check their e-mail. Because Snaptalk comes to the front, I can get my message to the other teacher instantly. This has meant fewer students in the hallway and more effective communication.. The quick reply feature allows me to answer a question instantly, and get back to teaching. We can even send attachments of documents we are working on! Overall, this program has been very helpful to our school system. Thanks for a great product!"
--Jim Huntsberger, Teacher, Logan Hocking School District, (Logan, OH)
