TESTIMONY
"Classroom Salon has made me so much more of an active reader. Being asked for input while I read allows me to come away from course readings with more knowledge than in the past."

Wow your product is amazing; I am an educational technology director at a local school district and will begin using it with a few teachers that are flipping their classroom.

What a unique and wonderful tool for virtual collaboration! I am using it for an MBA course now and plan to use it for an undergrad course later on in the semester.

I am a teacher at Cleveland High School in Seattle. I joined Classroom Salon last Spring and have been blow away by the sheer potential of this program as a classroom tool. I am happy to say that I have convinced the rest of my 9th and 10th grade teaching team to adopt this program.
I am in the beginning of this new project out of Carnegie-Mellon University to help students read e-texts more effectively. After a weekend of training with the product, it strikes me that this is a feature that would make CONNECT top notch. The program is called Classroom Salon, and it allows students to interact with the text (as CONNECT does), but it has IMHO a better way of making these connections accessible to the instructor (especially in a big class like mine).
