What Users Love About the App

“I like that I can copy and paste and manipulate my lessons easily. I don’t need to retype my lessons for each class that have the same lessons and I can move the lessons easily when we have snow days or an unexpected day off.”

“Chalk has several functions, including Planboard, Markboard, and an Attendance component. Planboard is an online planner and lesson plan organizer. Markboard is an assessments and assignments log and Attendance is the Chalk tool for marking student attendance.”

“Just wonderful to plan for class units and lessons with the ability to move them either forward or backwards and scheduling days off as well.”

“Saves all lessons from previous years to import and revise. Upload and attach documents on each day as well as insert links for videos. Ability to plan as far ahead as needed and can make changes at any time as needed. Like the ability to shift days ahead.”

“I like the ability to color code my sections. I also like that it is easy to add the common core standards for my state. Both of these make it very user friendly. The fact that it is available through the app stores makes it more accessible on more devices. I like the different features including Markboard, Planboard and attendance. The Resources functions are super helpful as well. It provides a way to save and share the lessons that have been created. This would provide another way to collaboratively share resources between teachers.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“It can get kind of confusing when trying to access modules that are required to be completed. The mobile integration could be improved (I had a really hard time managing class chalk site on my phone).”

“The tool is just wonderful I have not come to find any dislike about it though it takes time for the initial setup.”

“Chalk is a great web-based technology but lacks some resources that would make it the central app for teachers to utilize in the classroom.”

“I do not like that I am unable to add and overlap my sections. I teach multiple grade levels and subjects. I sometimes have 2 grades in at the same time or the same grade but the students are in my room for different subjects.”

“Nothing really except you have to resize to print. At the beginning, it was slow and you had a hard time getting into system but in year 2 that improved and had no issues logging in or working in program.”
