Does Your School Use First Class?

Tuesday July 7, 2009
Does your school use First Class? The reason I ask is that a group of technology coordinators on the Independent School Educators Network are trying to get Apple to approve an iPhone app for First Class. For whatever reason Apple's approval process is moving at a snail's pace.

What can you do? If you use First Class or you know that your child's school does, please have somebody at the school email Apple and ask them fast-track the First Class app. Thousands of schools use First Class and they also love their iPhones. But the thinking is that if Apple drags its feet much longer, it will lose an advantage as folks drift to other devices like the Palm Pre and Blackberry. Thanks for your help.
