If you're passionate about education like I am then hopefully you will be glad to give me feedback and help with case studies in your classroom.

We help connect students and teachers with instant push notifications so students never have to worry about forgetting a presentation being due or class being canceled. All the teacher has to do is sign up on the application and create a class for their relevant school and tell their students to sign up. Once signed up they will receive instant notifications right to their phone as soon as it is sent.
We've also built a calendar function so students can track all of their classes and future notifications in one place.

Thank you it is very much appreciated!
Does anyone have any techniques for facilitating reciprocal teaching? My 3rd grade students are familiar with the four roles. But I seem to have difficulty getting them to continue discussion. They share and then that's it. What works for you? any suggestions would be much appreciated!
