classscene.pngWalsworth Publishing, a family owned yearbook company, has been publishing memories for 70 years and in the spirit of this proud tradition, the company has unveiled a new way to preserve and view school memories with its unique and proprietary online media-sharing platform called ClassScene. As part of an overall strategic direction to bring the best online solutions to its customers, ClassScene offers real-time sharing of school memories to everyone affiliated with a member school. Developed to exceed all standards for online safety and security, ClassScene by Walsworth ensures a worry-free place for educators, students, families and friends to share ongoing memories for school events. As an additional bonus for educators, ClassScene offers a very important 21st century technology learning tool, which enables instruction of multi-media publishing.

The technology offered by ClassScene allows students, parents, faculty and other members of each school community to share photos and videos. From the school’s Friday night football game to a student’s personal video of the prom, everyone can share their school experiences throughout the year, as well as enjoy online archived multi-media memories for all time.

Features offered by ClassScene are easy to learn and use.

A school-appointed content reviewer, along with ClassScene technical support, ensures no inappropriate photos or content are posted for public access. Security protocols such as HackerSafe and VeriSign certification, along with content approval processes established by each school, provide a safe place for students, families and friends to share in memory making experiences of their school communities throughout the year and throughout time.
