History
Classware© Software has been creating educational
software since 1994. It started innocently in a small
4th grade classroom. All programs were simple basic
skills applications written in Visual Basic; however,
Macintosh users couldn't use our programs. With the
advent of ASP and Flash, our simple little apps came
alive and became available in the new fledging media
called the Internet. All programs are created, designed
and researched by classroom teachers and they have all
been used with great success in the classroom.
With all of the pressure of State High Stakes Testing
and the demands of NCLB teachers are forced to spend
too much time assessing, gathering data, interpreting
data and teaching to the data -- basic skills aren't
reinforced enough and sometimes not even practiced at
all. Without basic skills each grade level students
fall further and further behind.
Our first site MyTeachingTools, had countless basic
skills programs, endless math practice, worksheets,
glossaries, on line phonics, interactive spelling and
vocabulary and much more. This lead to the development
of a second site -- STARprep.com, which included High
Stakes Testing Practice and Review.
MyTeachingTools and STARprep have been combined into
EduWebPortal.com.
Our Goal
Every day our new site will grow and include
more tools and testing practice. We want to ensure that
there is another resource for: students who for some
reason didn't get it in class, the teacher who doesn't
have time to provide the basic skills and assess them
and the parents who want to make sure their child is
getting an education.
