FAQ in Education
Does Salamander TRACK students when they are at home?
Salamander is designed so it can be used to best suit your needs. Our TAGs can be scanned at the time of boarding and / or exiting a bus, entering or exiting the school or even the classroom.
How secure is the information stored in SalamanderLive?
Salamander uses AWS GovCloud to store sensitive data. Currently we store data for government, military, and more.
What information is stored on the barcode?
Each school has the ability to decide what information they would like stored on the TAG such as: name, grade, phone number, and more.
My students already have a TAG that is provided through a photo company.
We can add a barcode to the existing TAG to add additional functionality for tracking students. Know where your students are located during school, events, bussing attendance, and for drills / emergencies.
Our staff already has an ID that they use for access control.
Salamander can add an additional barcode to your staffs existing ID. Scan the added barcode to account for staff during day-to-day activities and if an event occurs. Store staff’s information on their ID such as name, phone number, and even their qualifications.
Our younger students are not ready to carry TAGs.
For students that are not at the point where they will be wearing / carrying a TAG, we can provide scan sheets with their photos, name, and barcode that can be scanned.
Our transportation is outsourced.
Salamander can work with your transportation company to discuss the benefits of our features and how they would be interoperable with your school.
What options do we have if our teachers are opposed to placing work APPs on their personal devices?
We understand that staff using their personal devices may not be an option. We do offer discounted options, if needed.
