essaypop is completely free – NO credit card required!
The outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has caused most educational institutions to close temporarily and to rely on distance learning.
We would like to remind you that essaypop’s Hive feature can keep you connected with your students during the crisis. In the Hive students and teachers can view student writing in real time and give and receive detailed feedback, and they can do this from home. It’s a great way to keep kids writing and keep them engaged socially while they are away from school and their classmates.
We also have a lesson library that is filled with lessons and writing activities that can be instantly assigned to your classes. We want to ensure that you can continue to teach and that your students can continue to learn. We hope that essaypop can help. And, of course, we’re always free.
We sincerely hope that things will soon get back to normal. If you have any questions about how to use essaypop or about distance learning in general, do not hesitate to contact us at contact@essaypop.com or leave a message on our Facebook page.
