SchoolNotes.com Delivers Breakthrough in School-To-Home Communications

ATLANTA, (August 3, 1998)--Data Sense, Inc. announced today new technology that allows educators to post school information on the Internet without programming. Via SchoolNotes.com, teachers can update school information on the world-wide-web at anytime and not have to worry about HTML, FTP, or any other esoteric means for putting data on school websites.

"More and more teachers are gaining access to the Internet every day, but they are not looking to become programmers," said Ron Bocinsky, President of Data Sense, Inc. "SchoolNotes.com is a simple-to-use application which promotes effective parent-teacher-student communications."

SchoolNotes.com complements school websites by allowing individual teachers to maintain their own web page of information including weekly lesson plans, homework assignments, spelling words, and the like. This up-to-date information can be linked to school websites and be accessed at any time by parents and students. All that is needed is a standard Internet web browser. SchoolNotes.com is a free service and is made possible through community sponsors.

"Linking educators to their community is essential to improving education in America," said Bocinsky. "Being able to find out what is currently being studied in a child's classes can help parents get more involved in their child's education."

SchoolNotes.com is recognized on leading education web sites such as the National Education Association (http://www.nea.org), Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com/Education/Teaching/), and NetScape (http://home.netscape.com/solutions/education/community/index.html). An introduction to SchoolNotes.com is also being offered through university and school district teacher workshops.

Teachers can register for a free SchoolNotes.com account by simply filling out an online registration form and can begin providing school notes immediately. SchoolNotes.com is useful for all educators, including primary and secondary school teachers and even college professors.

One teacher in Mandeville, Louisiana, summed up the service best with "Thanks, SchoolNotes.com! Your service has really enhanced my relationships with students and their parents. I have been using your service for about three weeks now, and have had an overwhelming response! I'm always encouraging other teachers to join in! It has actually made my job a little easier!"
