All the homework in one place
From our resident programmer, Wilson Gramer:
We can all agree that at some points it’s hard to keep track of all your homework for the night. Even if you have an agenda book, it’s one extra thing you have to bring home that you might lose anyway!
I’ve been working with our principal, Mr. Pollet, to create a solution that we will all benefit from. It’s called TPSHomeworkBot, and basically it automatically pulls the homework from your teacher’s blogs and sends you a notification right to your phone through Twitter. It can also give a nightly summary so you know what blogs to continue reading.
So you’re probably wondering, “how do I sign up?” It’s simple! You’ll see flyers and posters around the school with codes on them. Simply scan the big code and then the code with your grade using your phone’s camera. Make sure to follow both accounts and turn on notifications for it to work correctly. And if you don’t have Twitter or don’t plan to get it, there will be an email version coming soon.
So that’s the brief rundown of TPSHomeworkBot. If you have any questions, ask your teachers to email them to Mr. Pollet. I hope you’ll enjoy using TPSHomeworkBot as much as I enjoyed creating it! Thank you and have a great day!
Here is the tutorial
