About dittos.io

Motivation

dittos was created by parents who have been frustrated and disappointed with the current state of technology and communication for schools and the school related activities around us. The Parent/Teacher Club for our local schools is fantastic, but lacked a platform that was geared solely toward them and communicating what's happening at school.

Parents are often simply "broadcast to" and have no good way of interacting with organizers, teachers, school administration or the parents of their children's classmates. To resolve that, we created dittos. Its familiar format is meant to fit in with the heavy demands that are made on parents, organizers, and teachers.

Communication

It is easily used and comfortably integrated into the lives of both community organizers and the members of those communities. We define a community as a group or organization of people with a common interest. Examples include Parent Teacher Organizations (Parent Teacher Clubs or Parent Teacher Associations), an extra-curricular clubs, school administration or teacher's classrooms.

Community

We’re all in this together, and dittos is eager to help parents connect and stay involved without all the issues of other, more general communication platforms.

Anyone may create communities that others in their area can see and associate it with a school or district. These community owners and moderators may request verification that they are authorized by the school or district and dittos will attempt to verify the information and tag communities as verified.

Safety

We at dittos respect that its not our place to make those choices for others. That’s why communities may be open to the public or private to it's own members, the choice is yours.

Cost

dittos is free to use and primarily ad supported, we'll do our best to keep them unobtrusive and topical.
