The document describes a proposed mobile app called Teacher Talk that allows students of all grade levels to communicate directly with their teachers. The app would use instant messaging to help students get answers to homework questions, catch up if absent, and prevent students from falling behind. A team called The NerdZ is developing the app to improve student-teacher communication and education. Some students say they would use the app, while others note potential issues like not all teachers having the app or unclear teacher availability. Suggested features include seeing a teacher's online status and adding language selections.

2. Teacher Talk
 Teacher Talk is directed to students from Elementary school all the way though College.
 This app is also directed to teachers of various schools so they can communicate to their
students to provide guidance for their students.

3. This app will help kids catch up with school work, or if they have
questions about their learning, it’s crucial that they seek guidance
from a teacher.
• If they have the app, Teacher Talk, they can easily communicate with their teacher/s
so they can be caught up with their work, and won’t fail the class.
• Teacher Talk allows students to communicate with your teacher though a computer
screen using instant messaging, which will prevent you from falling behind in class!

4.  How can we connect the app with the internet to send the
messages to the person you are texting?

5. • Some students in elementary schools don’t have a phone to contact
their teacher.
• Some kids may think it’s a bit awkward to ask their teacher for a
phone number.
• Teacher Talk allows any student to contact their teacher/s with
ease, without making them feel uncomfortable.

6. Our team, The NerdZ, is
developing a mobile app to
help any student who is
enrolled in school contact
their teacher/s for help.
Whether they have a
question about homework, or
if they are absent from
school, they will always have
a way to communicate with
their teacher/s to improve the
student’s education! 

• This app could be helpful I would buy it
Jehmaisa Griffin
• This app could work, but I probably wouldn’t buy it
Sam Ferguson
• I would use the app because I would like to have a talk with my teachers
if I needed help with a project
• This might be better than student email
Phil Cambell
• Yeah I would use it, to assign places to my students to photograph near
the university
• They can see my grading on the places and quality of the photos, so then
they can see what they need to make up or improve
• To talk to me about any questions they have, that’s great so they can see
if they are on their to gain their social graphic degree

9. Ren Dimico
• My question would be, would the teachers have office hours and I
would suggest putting a system that the students can see the status of
their teacher, if they are online or unavailable
• I believe there are still some boundaries that need to be established
but if I would be able to see the status of my teacher I would defiantly
use the app
Kelsi McCracken
• I like the idea that you can get help from a teacher right away instead
of waiting until the next day, when it is due, for an answer
• There are a few minor setbacks, like what happens if your teacher
doesn’t have the APP? How would you contact them? If those issues
can be resolved, I would definitely download Teacher Talk!
Mayté Losada
• It should have a help page
• I would use it but only if my teacher had the app
• There should be a different language selection
