Teachers are bombarded with new applications every day. Some love the challenge of learning new things, and some don’t. That’s why Edsby works hard to support all your educators as they learn Edsby, offering a variety of ways to help everyone get comfortable with the system in a way that works best for them.
To make things simple to begin with, Edsby was designed to work like the social media systems teachers already know and use. Who needed a lot of training to use Facebook?
There’s a tour built into the Edsby product. First time users are stepped through the basics of many areas of Edsby and can review anytime they like. With videos.
Prepackaged FAQs and dozens of training videos illustrate aspects of Edsby for teachers, admins, parents and students.
Edsby can perform onsite or remote training for large organizations, often led by former teachers. Extensive training materials, including workbooks, are provided.
A series of training courses are built right into Edsby. Educators can work through them as they have the time.
Edsby can create videos using an organization’s specific language and messaging to make the introduction of Edsby easier for local teachers, students and parents.
Organizations can create a group in their Edsby systems for internal Edsby Q&A.
Designated representatives in your team can connect with Edsby support personnel to obtain answers to your educators’ specific questions. Get real answers from real people.
Customers can receive a private Edsby server mirroring the organization’s customizations so teachers and others can learn Edsby without compromising live student data.
I love how Edsby makes learning and assessment transparent for students and teachers.

Edsby puts a tremendous amount of information at my fingertips. It provides me with a wide range of tools that allow me to work with students, parents and teachers to create the best possible learning environments in our school.

I have everything in one place now. Attendance, day planner, gradebook, curriculum, student notes, student and parent info and communication. Love it!

I like that I can use Edsby to communicate daily with parents. It's great for organizing and reporting student progress.

From submitting assignments to engaging in discussions, Edsby empowers students and parents to take ownership of their education, fostering a culture of active participation and continuous improvement.
Rhae FletcherSTEM teacher, Lloydminster Public School Division
I love many things about Edsby. I love that when you click "Fill" for report cards, you automatically get the comment you were working on. You can see students' grades with ¨Fill¨, making it much more manageable. I also appreciate pulling up evidence to use in report cards.
Sarah YoungTeacher, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, 34,000 students and 3,450 staff on Edsby
The report card and assessment tracking system is all we could ask for. And the privacy settings and ability to invite and block certain groups is seamless, which is very important for a school.
Mike PackowskiPrincipal, Linbrook School
Edsby is a great software package. I have implemented it for 100% of my work and look forward to using it for our report cards.
Scott PillonTechnology Teacher, Greater Essex County District School Board
As a teacher, I don’t need multiple programs for assessments, messages, and grades. It’s all in Edsby.
Mike SchenkTeacher, King's Christian College
As a parent and a vice-principal, I see how hard you're working in really difficult circumstances to create a product that allows our students and children to continue learning. We value you and your work.
