"Top five reasons why teachers love to rrripple 1 Makes connecting with students, parents, and other educators easy, meaningful, and secure. You can create groups comprised of people you know; no one can solicit membership, which makes sharing very secure. Moreover, teachers can moderate the groups to ensure appropriate online behavior. 2 Promotes creativity, collaboration and community by offering a fun and engaging digital platform. The media-rich interface makes viewing, uploading and downloading all sorts of media a fun experience. 3 Allows teachers and students away from the classroom to keep up-to-date and in-touch with classes, and to monitor progress on assignments. Even after you leave the school campus, or if a student is out of school sick, you and the student can access any of the media shared using various mobile devices. 4 Assists students with accessing, organizing and tracking materials and deadlines. The timeline interface helps students review lessons and assignments on their own terms, in their own way, at their own pace. 5 Provides web-savvy teachers the latest tools and technology to make class life more informative, fun, and exciting. Students have an insatiable desire to create digital content and to share it with others, yet public social networks are not safe venues for sharing and rrripple is ideal."
