What it is: Qlubb will change the way you communicate and interact with parents and families. Qlubb includes features perfect for the classroom such as: event calendaring, sign-up sheets, to-do lists, automatic event and task reminders, photo sharing, member rosters, and bulletin boards. Everything on Qlubb is intuitive and extremely simple. Parents and teachers will have no problem jumping in and using Qlubb to enhance home/school communication. This is social networking at its finest for schools!
How to integrate Qlubb into your curriculum: Start off the 2008/2009 year off right by creating a Qlubb network for your classroom. There is plenty of time for you to try it out before then, I have to say that it is truly so intuitive that you won’t need that much time to get it up and going. Use Qlubb as a place to post class pictures, class information, daily homework, and as a place where parents can sign up to help in the classroom or for field trips. This is a great solution for parent/school communication. Qlubb would also be great for after school clubs or sports organization.

What a nice resource, and I see how it could be easy to use as an organization tool for teachers, parents and students! This may be a resource that would be of good use to the teachers that I serve in my district. The only set back for our district is that flikr is blocked by the district filters.
We were introduced to Qlubb a few months ago and we have been really pleased. Aside from it being free (a BIG plus), the user interface was very simple – all 21 parents in my daughter’s class have gone on and participated (100% parent participation – unheard of!) and taken on tasks for themselves!
For us, we don’t use the photo option at all, since parents are pretty careful about their kids’ pictures. So the flickr thing really didn’t impact us.
Francis,
I am blown away by the parent interaction you saw added with Qlubb…that is amazing!
Our users have seen a tremendous improvement in parent participation since using Qlubb. Over the next few weeks we will be adding a lot more cool features and so we encourage our users and our new users to send in your suggestions! Keep Qlubb-ing!
