InClass for Teaching & Learning
InClass is an online tool available to all secondary teachers and students. The system is an all-in-one program for accessing homework, course materials, announcements, and potentially grades. InClass can extend the boundaries of the traditional classroom so that learning can take place anytime and anywhere. With InClass, students can access information relevant to their studies through a browser and the Internet - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. InClass is used to supplement face-to-face instruction, to post homework and assignments, and to foster home-school communication.

The 2004-05 school year was its first year of district-wide implementation. With any new program, there is a learning curve for everyone involved - teachers, students, support personnel. We are hopeful that InClass will prove to be a valuable innovation for teachers and students.
