Thousands of K-12 schools and districts across 54 countries and 45 states are using Alma's groundbreaking student information system to transform their learning communities. Are you next?
Education (mainly teachers from K-12 but we also have some university level users)
They are absolutely fantastic. Quick, reliable, professional, and very proficient at what they do.
The descriptions are confusing. The filtering is confusing or doesn't work right.
I loved that our district made a deal to get a group purchase for ALMA so it made the price just perfect for us. ALMA looks beautiful and is an excellent tool.
You can pay extra to have them developed/added, but there is no way to do that yourself.
Teachers have more at their finger tips for flexibility with report cards and that makes all of us so happy...actually its terrific to see them so pleased.
There are a bunch of interface elements like this that make interactions awkward or repetitive, which induces frustration and boredom, which leads to errors. It feels like evaluations are 90° off.
The best thing abour Alma is its ease of use. In addition, it has one of the most professional and responsive customer support departments I have ever encountered in any product or industry.
When you have been with company for years is it hard to make a switch.
Overall, SafeShare.tv makes it easy for me to safely show videos to students without worrying over the repercussions of accidentally displaying inappropriate advertisements.
The only complaint I have is that it is limited to specific platforms, and is not universally available for all forms of video clips.
I love that I can safely share videos and save them on my dashboard for repeated viewings.
This is not something teachers should be doing in front of a class because that would defeat its purpose.
The teachers were thrilled. We really appreciate that we can have just the video we want, no recommended videos, no ads, and no comments.
Also, when used in SafeShare, the video is significantly smaller and cannot be maximized. This was a problem for classroom use.
It's a perfect value for money and I would highly recommend it to those who want to talk with family and friends, this is way better than any video calling software.
The hyperlinks to safeshare videos no longer work due to this feature.
Tom J.: My name is Tom. I am the elementary principal at Kingsway Christian Schools, and we use Alma SIS, and I would rate it a 4 out of 5. Prior to using Alma, we were using Blackboard in our elementary school. For us, Blackboard was a bit clunky and it was difficult to navigate and didn't really make communication smooth when we're trying to communicate between school and our community. We chose Alma because it was user-friendly, it was really easy for our teachers to learn how to use it, how to communicate with families, everything's been organized really well, and their customer service has been very helpful. We decided to bring Alma in a whole year early so we could get used to the functionality, make sure we were really confident before we rolled it out across our campus. That was really seamless. We always had good communications with implementation specialists, and the rollout went really well. I would just recommend that you do your homework, you look at what's out there. For us as an elementary school, the ease of use and being able to communicate really seamlessly is really what we needed and it met our needs. It could be different depending on your school community as well.
Tyler: My name is Tyler. I am an Associate Principal. I would give SafeShare.tv a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using SafeShare.tv, we were using nothing. We were simply just using video clips that were found online, primarily on YouTube and Vimeo. SafeShare.tv really helped us to minimize those distractions and have a bit more control over the content that our students were seeing as teachers share more and more videos. We chose SafeShare.tv primarily because it's just so easy to use. It was relatively straightforward to integrate and implement because it was as easy as copy and pasting a link. And then, having a tool that really minimize those distractions right at the tip of the teacher's finger to do that. It integrated well within Canvas and our other learning management softwares. And aside from that, it really just help our students focus I think to really get rid of all those advertisements and all distractions that really became quite cumbersome to use in the past. It was very easy to get started with SafeShare.tv. The interface itself is intuitive. Again, it's relatively copy paste, and it's accessible on any device. So it really helped us to integrate it in a quick and easy fashion, especially at a time that was hard through distance learning. My only recommendations for someone considering SafeShare would really ought to be to dive in and try it. It is so intuitive and easy to use that even those that are not as tech savvy as some of us can jump right into it and use it. And I think they'll find a much higher level of engagement. So, go for it.
