Teachers.io	Audience: Elementary Middle High Educators	"Use this site to set up class schedules and important due dates. Once all information is set up on Teachers.io, students can sign up for an account via the companion app, myHomework Student Planner. Once students sign up for an account, they can search for their school and current teachers within the app. As students select their classes, all information for each class will be automatically loaded onto the student's myHomework app. If multiple teachers in one school use Teachers.io consistently to its fullest potential, students who have access to devices will no longer be responsible for keeping track of writing down assignments and test dates. The Teachers.io site allows teachers to ensure that students have all the information needed to be successful in their classes and could be a useful solution for both teacher and student organization.
