Electronic diary (SMS grades)?

Question

SMS

Hello!
I know that there are people on Habré who are related to the field of education.
Please share information about which electronic diary is used in your institution.
How it was implemented, what were the pitfalls.
First of all, the function of sending SMS to parents is of interest, but all other functionality will also be needed soon.
Thank you!

Answer 1

Friends were busy. We bought software, although you can write your own.
Problems:
1. Schools don't always want to let someone into their guts.
2. A PC operator should sit in each school and enter all the data (equipment and salary).
3. It is necessary to have several packages for the amount of information (parents are not ready to pay for everything).
5. If few people agree, then there is no point in starting all this.
4. Parents don't like being pressured to buy these text messages.
5. Constant jambs due to technical failures and human factor.

Answer 2

We developed such a system with a colleague for implementation in schools. When they went to schools to offer and show prototypes of the system, it turned out that they did not need it for the reasons described in the comment above. So the project was abandoned.

Answer 3

Implemented smsdiary.biz.
Pretty handy system. We made the first two weeks free for everyone. Honestly, it was hell =) Our school is big, one and a half thousand students, two shifts (from 8 to 14). There was a lot of work, 6 days a week.
When switching to a paid mode (something like 200 rubles / month), the number of students has noticeably decreased. Over time, all this faded away.
As mentioned above, every school should have an operator. We decided this: we ourselves acted as operators (laboratory assistants, engineer). Accordingly, we received a salary from the SMS diary. The salary was directly proportional to the number of students.
Now we are introducing the so-called. "municipal" diary, commanded from above :) For users it is completely free, for us, unfortunately, too :)
The main problem:
teachers don't generally feel they should do extra work for free. In the first case, these were notebooks for each class, lying in class magazines. Each teacher, in addition to grading in a journal and diaries, must also enter them in a notebook. Now, instead of notebooks, there are forms of a certain sample (which are then scanned by a stream scanner and recognized), but the essence does not change - a ten-minute change is not very enough.
The main result: there is only one problem - the human factor.
My opinion is this: while there are so many elderly conservative "teachers" in schools, progress is going sooooo slowly :)

Answer 4

Our school (#497, def city) has a NetSchool system. You can talk a lot about this buggy miracle, but I'll just say, bypass it ...

Answer 5

Here is a good electronic diary: school-record-book.ru/
In the Educational Institutions of the district they use it, and it is not quite complicated in itself + the developer provides TP.

Answer 6

Of the free ones, I can name RUZHEL - the development of the 45th Moscow gymnasium. In this gymnasium, paper magazines were completely abandoned; all records are kept electronically. Grades are driven in by the teachers themselves - this is the right decision, there should be no nonsense with blacks driving in grades by African Americans.
Sending via SMS is the weak side of free systems. But still, this is not a function of the system, but just an extra entertainment.
One of the most difficult problems for the management of EJ is 152-FZ.
There are no problems with motivating conservative teachers - a strong “fi” from the principal is enough (of course, the support of the authorities in this endeavor is required).
