A mobile application has been a need of the hour.
Want to rank your school website on google? It must be mobile-friendly. More than 50% of users view websites from mobile!. A smartphone has technically replaced a laptop (though there are things that mobiles does not support).
It also means you need to have a mobile presence!
What’s better than a mobile application for your school?
Okay...
BUT WHAT SHOULD A MOBILE APPLICATION INCLUDE?
A mobile application should not be complex and difficult to use. The app should fulfil the requirements of your school!
Here is a list of things that a mobile application have
NOTICE BOARD
CAN WE PUT UP NOTICES ON MOBILE APP?
A mobile application should have a notice board.
This is important for the teachers to put up important notices and alerts for the students and their parents.
FEES
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR FEE REMINDERS?
Schools do really face this problem. With so many other things in demand, it is difficult to keep a track and personally remind the students to pay the fees.
A mobile application is your solution. It should have a feature where it is easy for you to remind the parents about the fees.
Intract comes up with a FEES feature which does the heavy work of notifying the students about their due payments! You don’t have to do a thing!
HOMEWORK
HOW CAN THE TEACHERS ASSIGN THE HOMEWORK IF THE SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED?
Considering the current situation, getting to know how much the students have understood is difficult. Teachers can’t assign the homework and check all together when the school reopens.
Mobile application comes handy. A mobile application should include a homework section. This will help teachers to understand how much a student has understood.
It creates a form of conversation among them.
Q&A
How can a Teacher solve the student’s problems?
A mobile application must have a question and answer feature. This will create another form of conversation between them.
A Q&A feature will not only be a discussion amongst the teacher and a student but also for everyone. Other students can also read the explanations given to a particular question by the teacher.
VIDEOS OR VIDEO LECTURES
CAN A MOBILE APP HELP TEACHERS TO ARRANGE ONLINE CLASSES?
Yes! A mobile application should have a feature for online classes.
It should help the teacher to form Google Meet or take online classes on Zoom.
This is a very easy way to have interactive classes and continue with the portion even when you are miles apart.
ATTENDANCE
CAN A SCHOOL MAINTAIN ATTENDANCE DIGITALLY?
A mobile application should have a feature named ATTENDANCE where it allows the teachers to take attendance digitally.
it will reduce the pressure and stress of the teachers while maintaining the attendance of the student’s throughout the years.
Going digital is essential. Maintaining attendances digitally is one step closer to it.
And guess what, a MOBILE APPLICATION can or should come up with such solutions for the school.
HOW SHOULD YOUR IDEAL MOBILE APPLICATION BE?
If you are still wondering how should your school app be, then here is the solution.
SIMPLE
The most important thing for a school app is, is it should be SIMPLE.

CAN A MOBILE APP BE FOR EVERYONE?
YES! There are numerous possibilities with which you can make the app for everyone in the school.
Adding standards, dividing the subjects, giving different usernames, making sure you get the right set of students together can help to make the app for everyone.
Standards should not be a barrier for not having a mobile app.
These days the upgraded technologies help us to make an app with numerous standards and for everyone.
Just make sure you get the right set of teachers or staff members the authority. Also, make sure you put the right student in the right standard so as to avoid confusion.

SHOULD A SCHOOL HAVE A CUSTOMIZED MOBILE APP?
