Shared Folders
FrogDrive's document store provides easy access to any files or resources you choose to share. And because Frog knows who you are, it will only ever let you view folders you are allowed to see.
Messaging
Communicate between school and home with the Announcements application. Teachers can send messages to students, their parents and carers and receive replies in return. All messages can be viewed in both the browser and the MyFrog mobile app.
Forums and Walls
Discussions with students online has been a powerful tool in a teacher's toolbox ever since the internet went mainstream, but getting students signed up on forums is fraught with risk. What is needed is a forum where a teacher can be the moderator and students can engage in peer discussions while being protected from the internet. That's where the Forum widget comes in, making it simple and secure to host online discussions.
Onboarding Calendars
Frog's calendar tool allows you to manage school events, clubs, and parent's evenings in a web-friendly interface. Calendars can be shared with everyone or access can be limited to specified individuals. Events can be booked and users invited to. All within the secure environment of Frog.
Site Timeline
A record of all files uploaded to a Frog Site. Site Timelines provide a quick way of sharing images, and files and the ability to discuss them. Add a Site Timeline to an ePortfolio to create a personal gallery or add one to a class site and send an image to it to create an instant visualiser.
Hotspot Widget
Create a dynamic interactive image and use it as a map, teaching tool or even a visual menu.
