Now teachers have some really nice tools which are integrated into every classroom homepage.
Teachers can set up a syllabus for the class, a schedule, and include class policies. And teachers can easily customize and configure these features to suit the specific needs of the given class.

A little foreshadowing here. I can't tell you how many clients I've talked to who are considering purchasing a stand-alone gradebook, a stand-alone curriculum manager, or a stand alone SIS. Don't do this! The days of stand-alone products are numbered. Why would you want the headache of trying to manage several products, while trying to manage an entire school? I'll elaborate in my next post.
