Accessible and editable from anywhere in the world.
This feature along with the ease by which pages can be edited have accounted for our customers maintaining more up to date, informative school websites. Staff can now update websites from anywhere with an Internet connection, giving them the freedom to work from wherever they prefer, and the flexibility to make urgent changes without having to go in to school. Following the model exemplified by popular Web 2.0 initiatives such as Wikipedia and Facebook, School Jotter allows students and teachers to collaborate in the creation and maintenance of the school's web presence, whilst ensuring that all contributions can be centrally controlled and monitored to comply with data and security policies.
The security of password protected pages.
Password protected pages make sensitive information available through an easily accessible source. These pages take the same form as all other pages, the only difference being that visitors will be asked to log in to view them..
All changes can be saved as drafts and moderated by others.
Once you have edited a web page you can either save the page so that it instantly appears on your website or you can save a draft version for editing or moderating later.
You can access your saved drafts using the 'manage drafts' panel. From here you can view/edit, delete or put your drafts live.
Unlimited number of pages on every School Jotter.
The page building tool gives your site the capability to have thousands of pages named, presented and ordered however you like.
Large gallery of exciting templates.
We have a wide selection from child-friendly colourful designs to more formal corporate styles. You will be able to change your template and redesign your website for free whenever you want, even after you've populated your site with content.
School Jotter has a wide selection of themes to suit your school. When you see a template you like, simply click on it, and it will be applied to your new site.
Extensive collection of fun e-learning modules.
There are various e-learning modules available in School Jotter, the most popular ones include Spelling tests, Maths tests and Phonics tests. School Jotter also allows you to add links to the BBC Bitesize website. Using these e-learning modules and links to enhance your website allows you to make it more engaging for your pupils.
Web stats allow you to monitor visitor behaviour.
We have found many schools fail to analyse visitor behaviour, largely due to the fact they haven't found an easy way of accessing and viewing this data. School Jotter has an inbuilt web stat facility which allows users to check how individual pages are being visited on a weekly, monthly or even daily basis. By monitoring visitor trends schools can optimise a website's structure and content ensuring the website is an exciting, informative place for staff, pupils and the community.
Optimise your website with SEO.
This feature ties in with the above feature to make School Jotter websites powerful marketing tools. A simple SEO panel provides a way to make sure Google indexes all of your site pages and knows what's on each page. It page titles for search engines to pick up and to add effective keywords for each page.
Online forms with data gathering functionality.
Contact forms can be used for parents and website visitors alike to send information and requests to your school email address, such as subscribing to a school newsletter. They can also be used to gather details from your visitors and to use these details to communicate with them via a single click 'bulk email' option. Schools find this kind of data capture extremely beneficial for updating records and increasing awareness of the school and its activities.
Vacancy module to make recruiting easy.
