iSchoolBox
Web Application and Mobile App
CM3 designed, developed, and implemented iSchoolbox, consisting of a web-based application and iOS mobile application, for 806 Technologies. The web application enables school administrators to quickly and easily create mobile apps for their district or each individual campus. With an attractive, engaging user interface the school administrators can setup a customized app for their schools without any programming. Content entered by the school administrators can be published rapidly, streamlining the process of disseminating information to the parents, students, and other users of the mobile app. The mobile app is available through Apple’s iPhone App Store and once installed allows the users to search for their district and school, and even mark their desired schools as a “favorite” for quick access in the future. Each school’s content is presented exactly as it was customized by the school administrators using the web interface. The service is offered for free to school districts, with both a paid and free version of the mobile app available.
