What it does
Teacher Friendly App is a mobile app and website whose goal is to make it easier for teachers to get information. Teacher Friendly App accomplishes this by allowing teachers to share resources, giving teachers the opportunity to chat with each other, and enabling teachers to coordinate timelines with others. Teacher Friendly App centerpiece is an interactive calendar in which teachers can find out when assignments, projects, units, and exams for other classes take place. By coordinating lesson timelines with other teachers and subjects, teachers can create a more cohesive inter-subject learning experience for students. Teacher Friendly App also features a page to view resources created by other teachers, such as syllabuses and useful links. This way, teachers can more quickly access quality learning tools. Finally, Teacher Friendly App contains a chat section for teachers to directly interact with each other and ask questions.
How we built it
Teacher Friendly App frontend is built with flutter, a framework for the dart programming language focused on creating clean User Interfaces. TeacherTalk’s backend contains a flask server and CockroachDB SQL server both running on a Linode machine. The flask backend queries the SQL server and relays the query responses to the front end.
