Sococo for Classrooms
Recreate Your Physical Classroom In The Cloud
Do you miss your physical classroom? Are your teachers and students getting confused with all the video links being passed around? You’re not alone.
Sococo for Classrooms brings back your physical classroom while dramatically simplifying the remote school experience for teachers and students. Like your physical classrooms today, teachers simply go to their virtual classroom and students simply come to the room. The video link is automatically handed to the students making it easy for students to jump on.
Sococo for Classrooms works with Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams and has a variety of classroom setups to fit your school’s needs. Sococo can even customize your classroom to match your exact physical classroom today!*
What users are saying:
Simplify remote school
Gone are the days of having to pass video conference links around via email, Sococo lets you designate persistent video links specific to a classroom.
Recreate the physical school experience
As they would in real life, kids can see themselves, classmates and teachers moving from class to class, to the auditorium, or anywhere else they need to go.
Use with your collaboration software
Use the collaboration software in which you’ve already invested, whether it’s Zoom, Webex, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, but add the simplicity and “real feel” of the Sococo experience for teachers and students.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Sococo work?
Sococo brings students and teachers together in an online classroom with your video conferencing tools all in one place. Teachers and students are represented by avatars in the Sococo classroom map. You can move from room to room by clicking on the map. Start a video session using the links at the top of the map. Sococo is the easy way to bring everyone together for class.
How does it simplify video conferencing?
You can integrate Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams and designate persistent video links specific to a classroom. You won’t have to send invites or remember different links for different times. Just initiate the video link and all the students in a room can accept it and join the video call.
Can I integrate the collaboration software we already use at my school with Sococo?
Yes, Sococo easily integrates with Zoom, Webex, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
Can I record our Sococo classroom sessions so students who miss class can catch up asynchronously?
If you use Zoom, Webex, or Google Meet and your accounts have recording enabled, you can record the lesson/class session and then share with students for viewing later.
Can I choose how to visually set up my school’s map?
Yes, choose from several different school layouts. For an additional fee, we can create a customized layout for your school.
Not all my students are well resourced at home. What is needed to come to school in Sococo?
All you need to come to school in your Sococo workspace is an internet connection and an up-to-date Chrome web browser.
How is Sococo different from just using Zoom or Google Classroom?
Video conferencing and chat solutions may allow you to communicate with your students and colleagues, but they don’t allow you to connect. Communication via these tools is often asynchronous, overly structured, and formal. You have to “arrange” to use them. Instead, learning side-by-side in your online Sococo school allows you to collaborate in real time, hold ad-hoc meetings, and connect more spontaneously and casually with students and other teachers throughout the day, like you would in real life. Sococo easily integrates with Zoom, Webex, and Google Meet so you can bring them into your Sococo instance and get the best of both. When you go to school in Sococo, you don’t just communicate; you learn together.
How many students can Sococo accommodate?
You can bring as many students to school in your Sococo classroom as you’d like. We have a variety of online school maps available with different room capacities, so you can build one classroom or an entire virtual school building to make room for everyone.
What type of hardware does Sococo require?
Sococo works on laptops, desktops, tablets, and phones. All you need to come to school in your Sococo workspace is an internet connection and an up-to-date Chrome web browser. You can also download our desktop app (available for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux) or our mobile app to take your class with you when you’re on the go.
