SchoolBUS overview

What is SchoolBUS?

SchoolBUS is a community building platform for school-going children.

Online platforms are often associated with cyberbullying, addiction, inappropriate content and even frauds. For parents social media a scary place when it come to their children.

Social communities and media can be risky for children. But proper controls and monitoring within the platform can ensure that children focus on the positive aspects of the online medium.

Children are going to face the world where online medium plays an important role. The ability to connect with people online and express oneself appropriately is an important skill.

Online platform if used properly can be a great place for learning and sharing ideas. It can be a place to connect with like-minded people pursuing shared goals. It can be a great way to collaborate for projects. The key is to ensure that the platform is used for right purpose.

SchoolBUS ensures the same. While there are many community platforms that help exchange of ideas and information, they lack proper monitoring and control. They are built for grownups and are self-regulated. When it comes to children nothing can be left to chance.

SchoolBUS has been designed for children in mind. There are proper checks and controls to ensure that the medium is used for intended purpose only.

It is developed using FeldsparTech's low code platform, Atman.

SchoolBUS promotes creativity and collaboration amongst students. Its helps them keep connected for exchange of information and ideas. Many a times the softer aspects of learning are ignored in most of the schools. Children who paint, draw or write poetry need a platform to showcase their creativity. Similarly, new age hobbies like photography and videography can also be encouraged through SchoolBUS. The school should encourage and help in spreading such creations to larger audience.

There also has to be healthy exchange of ideas amongst students. They need to learn to react and comment in a healthy and acceptable manner. SchoolBUS is a great medium for students to learn social media etiquettes.

SchoolBUS has been used by many schools as a directory of current and past students. It serves as an onboarding platform new students joining the school. Based on hobbies and interests students can be added to 'Communities' on SchoolBUS. Common interests help children connect with each other quickly.

The most important aspect of SchoolBUS is the moderation. Publishing of posts can be configured to be allowed only after approval by moderators. This way no student can post inappropriate content. Even after posting, if any user feels that the post has something offensive, the same can be flagged for review by the moderators.

Moderator group can be formed with a combination of students and teachers. Access to this group can be determined based on the preference of the school.

SchoolBUS is a great platform to get students initiated in the online world. It is their safe gateway to social media. It provides an environment where learning and collaboration are promoted. It nurtures and encourages creativity and sharing.
