HotChalk's online educational community's biggest strength is its free online classroom tools that allow educators to take most aspects of their classroom online. HotChalk's purpose is to make a teacher's work easier and more productive at no cost for teachers, parents, students, or even the schools themselves. The HotChalk Learning Environment does this with quality online teaching tools aimed to increase productivity. Using HotChalk's free Internet classroom tools, any educator can easily create an online classroom.

Create your own class website and use it to assign homework, make classroom announcements, post lectures online, post lesson plans in your own lesson plan library, post worksheets, keep your gradebook online, track student attendance, make use of automatic assignment distribution, collection, and grading, and truly make your classroom portable. Sign up and start your first class web site today! Classroom websites are a great way to save time and automate many of your daily teaching tasks like assignment collection, grading, and even lesson planning. HotChalk's SwapShop provides access to thousands of lesson plans, worksheets, assessment tools, links to teacher resources, and other content (and you can choose to share your lesson plans as well if you'd like!).

HotChalk also provides access to a community of educators around the world through our great Teachers' Lounge. Connect with your colleagues to discuss all kinds of topics, such as hosting your classroom online, teacher blogs, child development, teacher websites, and homeschooling (even homeschoolers can make use of the online classroom tools!).

HotChalk's benefits aren't limited to educators - parents, students, and administrators can also make use of these tools. HotChalk is great for building communication between teachers and parents, connecting parents with their child's classroom work through the teacher's website. Students have access to their homework assignments 24/7 in their class' website which allows them to turn in assignments any time of the day. HotChalk also offers virtual online tutoring for students. Administrators can stay connected with their teachers and school community using HotChalk's educational database management and organizational tools. Class communication has never been this easy.

Welcome to HotChalk! We're trying to change the world, one classroom at a time.
