Schools - Other Applications
At Faithwebsites, our focus is on the Website needs of Christian organizations. Our sister
company, First Light Technology, LLC, was set up to meet the software development needs of our
Christian organizations. Some of the applications that have already been developed include the
following.
FIRST LIGHT DONORTRAK
DonorTrak is a web-based development software package. With this system, you can completely
manage your constituent and business databases. In addition, you can use this system to track
donations, pledges, campaigns, etc.
FIRST LIGHT CONNECT
First Light Connect is a completely web-based Intranet, which is accessible from anywhere you
have an Internet connection. Whether you are in the office, working at home, or on the road at a
convention, you can stay connected with your colleagues and partners. From the home or the road,
you can access and update your important information and have it at your fingertips.
COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM DATABASE
This module is an option within the First Light Connect framework. Most curriculum purists would
agree that district benchmarks or standards must be the foundation of instruction. With First Light Connect,
you will be able to upload your own school benchmarks, benefit from other schools' benchmarks or
create a hybrid of these. Once your school benchmarks have been established, you will be able to attach
them to courses and/or grade levels to easily identify any gaps or overlaps that might exist in your curriculum.
By working with a consortium of schools in the development of First Light Connect, this system has
adopted many useful reports that Curriculum & Instruction personnel will find extremely valuable.
While many schools have their curriculum mapped out on paper or in Microsoft Word, the key is to get this
data in an organized database. Then, you will be able to manipulate the data to easily give you a big
picture of your curriculum or focus on a desired benchmark.
UNIT PLANNING TOOLS
This module is an option within the First Light Connect framework. It may be a bit of an exaggeration
to say that no two schools have the same unit plan template. However, it is apparent that no single
template will ever meet the needs of all schools. Therefore, First Light Connect provides an easy-to-use
utility that will allow your curriculum administrators to "build" their own unit plan template.
Each school will be able to incorporate their own terminology, include as few or as many fields of data as
desired and dictate what should be pre-filled and what should be unique for each teacher. These tools
will help you create a unit that will identify the desired results, determine acceptable evidence and
aid in planning learning experiences and instruction. With these tools you can attach a unit to any number
of school benchmarks and can easily create inter-disciplinary units. Best of all, staff members can assess
student understanding using these powerful tools.
ONLINE REGISTRATIONS
Are your parents, alumni and other constituents looking for an easy way to register for events
and classes? With this module, you can customize each of your event registrations. This will
system will collect all the necessary registration data from your registrants and take online
payments for these events.
If you are looking for a customized Web-based application, be sure to contact us to discuss
this in greater detail. To learn more about the offerings of First Light Technology, be sure
