Would help further accelerate Methodist College’s digitization drive with the inclusion of Cross Channel Communication, enabling mobile apps, text messages, and email-based communication via one unified portal.
Methodist College was an early adopter of Google Classroom and has successfully conducted online classes, despite the pandemic-related school closures.
With the addition of Talkative Parents, the school now comprehensively connects all key stakeholders: administrators, teachers, parents, and students in one integrated platform.
A key value proposition of Talkative Parents is that communication is completely controlled by the school given the hierarchy-based structure.
The platform is a multifaceted system that enables:
● unlimited digital notices, calendar events and attachments such as student reports, assignments, timetables and newsletters via the mobile app
● Messaging to multiple groups/ subgroups of parents (i.e. school, grade, class-wise, or to an individual)
● A two-way private messaging feature allowing parents to directly connect with authorized personnel
● Calendar displaying school-related events which can be synced with the mobile phone
● Multi-language messaging

This is even more important in the current environment of extended school closures due to Covid-19.
