"If you\u2019re a teacher of a particular class in the K-12 bracket, and you would enjoy a quick and inexpensive way to piece together a website with all the necessary trappings to a schoolroom environment - such as a homework page, contact field, calendar, and perhaps even a grade report to be privately or publicly accessible - a service called\u00A0Classtell maybe just what you\u2019re looking for.\nFor starters, the end product of the Classtell service isn\u2019t the most beautiful you could imagine. Apart from a half dozen color options, it\u2019s fairly plain. But few rooms in the average elementary school are very visually captivating, either, so it probably is not expected that a class website will do much to impress a user. Instead, utility is key, and that Classtell does have.\n\nFor the sum total of $20 CAD per year (a price which follows a free 90-day trial), you\u2019re given a reasonably detailed editor in which to place whatever files, text, images, etc., that form the basics of the class syllabus and any things pertaining to your curriculum as school days progress.\nPlanning a school trip? Jot down the date, and any details of what it is you intend to do can be written up in the blog space provided. If special occasions call for blog posts - during vacation periods, for example - it can be employed as well.\n\nIt\u2019s really open to anything you can think of so long as it keeps to the technical limits of the Classtell service. And while you can be thorough with your data, the editor is never too complex to traverse. It\u2019s intelligently designed, for sure. Basically, everything that should be there seems to be there. You\u2019ll just have to forgive the place for not being so pretty. (Frankly, the website editor offers a nicer picture than what lives on the other side.)\nThe fact of the matter is that students and teachers alike are more connected than ever in numerous areas across the world map. But if you as an instructor are still in need of better organization between yourself and your pupils, Classtell is qualitatively of grade. It\u2019s cheap enough to cause little or no concern, and lacks few things, if any, that a teacher might miss or wish for. All in all, a real good reference to your workflow and the workflow of students and their parents."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
