@@onlineteacherdude1284 the built in drive is pretty cool indeed. But the built in browser only allows one tab so it’s pretty much useless for me. I mostly use games and curriculums that are interactive and in HTML format.
I use classin as well. I’m still struggling to understand the other blackboard. I also lost my ability to move slides forward and behind (to put images in preferred order). I like 2belive the most but my students have trouble connecting.
That's the issue with 2BeLive - getting students signed up and connected - I had way too many problems unfortunately. By other blackboard on ClassIn, I am not sure what you are referring to.
I am considering Pearl, It allows for payments to be made and for parents to schedule lessons. The platform will allow up to 25 teachers so an independent could onboard others and run a 'school' or company with other teachers.
@@marksesl If you are in the states... I would be willing to pay for the program- it actually does not stay on your computer. They will train both of us- and any additional teacher I onboard. I would agree to pay the entire monthly amount in exchange for assistance in starting a business- where I could onboard other teachers. Once I onboard others my thought was to charge them a percentage based on the monthly cost of the program and based upon the amount they make- if they had not taught enough students to make a partial living I would not charge them until they had enough students. I would not want to prevent them from making a living. Does that make sense? I just read the reviews- unless you deal w/ USD is a no go and it does not offer group classes. To get around that the tutor and students use it for payment /scheduling and then hop on Zoom or Google Meet. I will contact the company to see if they have upgraded the USD portion as well as the other downfall.. if you are interested, Mark. My offer still stands...
@@shykat2218 I watched a video telling about the fees for Classin. The Pro version is about 75 cents per student per hour, with an upfront deposit of about $15 from which they deduct the fees. The Business version is actually only half the cost, but requires a much larger deposit of $350. Sounds like a good deal to me, Classin doesn't offer report cards. Report cards would be a very useful feature.
Is Classin mostly beneficial in teaching children rather than adults? I get the feeling from the icons you used, this is all geared for children. Also, I understand that Classin and Koala Go which is also mentioned below are platforms for independent teachers who want their own business outside of other teaching platforms. But for a 'newbie' alot of the functions could be extremely helpful, even on 'ready made' teaching platforms. Is there any way to integrate these tools with other ready made platforms while I hone my skills? (hope this makes sense)
I would actually say that Classin is most definitely suited for adults. Its a very simple blackboard with space for cameras and your lesson. It has lots of tools but you don't need to use any of them if you don't want to. Koala go is more geared towards kids but could also be used for adults. I don't know what you mean about integrating tools with other ready made platforms - do you mean with like zoom? I don't really understand sorry.
@@onlineteacherdude1284 What I mean is could Classin be used on any of the other online platforms like Twenix? And I think Twenix and many other platforms use Zoom. Would some of these other platforms allow us to use tools like on Classin? Or is it only to be used if you have your own business and website? Thanks so much for your response!
@@WeDidntExpectthis Oh ok, no, If you are working for a platform they have their own way to teach, so Twenix has its own platform. I think there might be some companies that let you use your own like zoom or something but 95% would have their own built in platform. Classin is mainly for your own business.
Cool, didnt know about the browser feature. if you use the browser tool can both the student and the teacher operate the browser? For example if I opened up an interactive game website could the student click?
Great video, Tim! I've got a quick question regarding Classin that is still somewhat unclear to me: Are students required to download the app in order to use it? Something I've always enjoyed about Zoom is that the students didn't need to download anything in order to access the lesson. Is that the same with Classin?
Hi, good afternoon.. Watching your "classing"video here. Does it works with the students in China ? I mean we create the videos in us and the same time students who live in China able to open this webpage?
Classin is based in China. Its an online classroom like zoom but better. You don't create videos and its not a webpage. It's an app that you and the student meet on to have class on.
Thanks dear... I have 2 questions I have been teaching in native camp (a Japanese platform) for about 10 months, but the payment is about 3-4 dollars for 50 minutes. Do you mind if I ask the payment for classin?? And which one do you prefer? Thanks a lot dear❤🎉
Hi, I don't think you understand what Classin is. Its a teaching platform to teach your students on. Its like zoom for teachers. There are no students there to give you. They have a subscription model of around $20 / month for use. I did an indepth blogpost on my website about them if you want to check them out.
I read that the free version only allows 40 minute lessons. Is that right? Can you tell me the price for the lowest level subscription? ....later...I just saw in another video that teachers are charged a certain amount per hour per person. Is that the way Classin works. Do the students have to pay through Classin and they just keep their cut? So then is there no charge per month if you should have no students?
Their pricing has changed but I believe its charged per hour or per class - if you'd like to learn more, you can follow this link and ask all your questions: classin.referral-factory.com/Iyl7h9/join
I think with the free version, you get just about everything you need with some limitations on their cloud storage and how many classes you can schedule. I would join the classin group I linked in the video and ask in there - Kyle can help you with the specifics.
Hi John, welll.. difficult to answer. Is it the simplest? No. I think its easy to use and great for Chinese students too. I like it and it gives a much better experience than Zoom. But, Zoom is simple to use too.
@@onlineteacherdude1284 Thanks for the reply Tim. Yes, I just checked out Koala this week as well after watching your other video. It looks nice, back lacks a lot of basic functionality, like chat or uploading audio for example. One issue with ClassIn is that it doesn't seem to allow students to interact thru the shared browser, which Koala supports. To market to Chinese students specifically though, Classin seems like the no.1 option for now.
Hi Mary - thanks for your thoughts. What have you found that is better? My students seem too love ClassIn and I am quite happy with them. I haven't found anything better. Please share!
@@maryannaflak4184 This channel is all about options and information. I am always looking around. I have not found anything that works better with Chinese students so please do share!
@@maryannaflak4184 No I do not. I promote Classin simply because I use them every day. Koala Go is a very fun interactive platform from what I hear but they are quite new so stability might be an issue. My studens are older, love Classin and it works well. However that's the beauty of choice and everyone has different needs and preferences. Glad you like them!
@@onlineteacherdude1284 good to know..To be honest, I also had some stability issues with ClassIn...the look and feel is outdated even for the old me. I switched all my 20 students to Koala Go in March. Happy with the result so far. I predict it'll become THE platform, as they are listen to the tutors and release new features weekly.
I might have agreed 10 years ago but Skype is awful now. I would go with zoom over skype anyday, but gosh..skype is really out of date. Classin is an online classroom so its a great option to look profesional but zoom is all you need.
I was very hesitant to use Classin at the beginning but now I’m head over heels 👠 in love with it
Yes, I like it too!

Are you able to onboard other teachers?
Great video. I use Classin a lot, and I like it, but as someone who mostly uses screen share, I’m not “wowed” by the features.
I wouldn't use screen share with ClassIn - their built in browser and drive trump the screenshare for sure.
@@onlineteacherdude1284 the built in drive is pretty cool indeed. But the built in browser only allows one tab so it’s pretty much useless for me. I mostly use games and curriculums that are interactive and in HTML format.
Intrigued! Those EDB files look interesting. Thanks, Tim!
Yeah some of them are really fun!
I love creating them my students love them

With ClassIn, no, they don't have dual control just the teacher can control and the student can do simple annotating
Thanks for the help with ClassIn. Can ClassIn be used just in the US?
No, I Live in Thailand and its a company based in China - its global.

@@onlineteacherdude1284 Is Classin' online?

Can you please post a link to that blog? I’m particularly looking for the computer requirements for the Classin app. Thanks again! ❤
Many Chinese students can't see every url page when using classin on an ipad (when using the browser )
Oh I havent run into that problem. What url's can they not see for you?
should the studnet download classin or the classin mirror? thanks tim!
Hi, not sure what Classin Mirror is? They just need to have Classin the app on their ipad.
I read that the free version only allows 40 minute lessons. Is that right? Can you tell me the price for the lowest level subscription? ....later...I just saw in another video that teachers are charged a certain amount per hour per person. Is that the way Classin works.

Hi, Can Classin be used for students outside China?
Ye, for sure!
do you know how to activate premium classin?
Yes, message them directly about this and you join this group: onlineteacherdude.com/classin
I never understood their subscription structure, but I remember thinking that it seemed too expensive.
It's just a credit system so you are charged 2.5rmb / 30 minutes of teaching.
My Classin has been blocked since 26th March. Did this happen to anyone else?
Not sure what's going on . I would contact ClassIn about this.
I am going to begin using Classin with two siblings. Can you give me the parameters of the free version?
I think with the free version, you get just about everything you need with some limitations on their cloud storage and how many classes you can schedule. I would join the classin group I linked in the video and ask in there - Kyle can help you with the specifics.
Where do you get the PPT's from
You can make them or download them from various curricula subscription sites. I did a couple of videos about curricula options.
@@onlineteacherdude1284 yes I do this too..was just curious if you had a specific source 👍
Hi Tim, do you think ClassIn is the best option for new online teachers?
Hi John, welll.. difficult to answer. Is it the simplest? No. I think its easy to use and great for Chinese students too. I like it and it gives a much better experience than Zoom. But, Zoom is simple to use too.

The technology is so outdated…if you want to retain students, you need to start using better platform than ClassIn
