Snorkl and Special Education: AI Tools to Help Every Student Succeed
Highlights 00:01 Discovering and Introducing Snorkl 00:12 I discovered Snorkl through the Edge of Protocols community's Facebook page, and the constant mention of the tool piqued my interest. 00:51 I visited the Snorkl website, signed up for a demo, and was so excited that I made it to the demo at 3:30 PM on a Friday, despite my busy schedule as a teacher. 01:17 After seeing Mon'nique's Snorkl math prompt demo, I was immediately hooked and started using Snorkl the following week. 01:41 I was so passionate about Snorkl that I demonstrated it to my colleagues, and many of them became Snorkl fans and upgraded to the premium plan. 02:06 Presenter Introduction and Purpose of Using Snorkl 02:26 Hannah Gurmankin is a special education teacher in New Jersey with 20 years of experience. She primarily uses Snorkl with students with reading disabilities, ADHD, processing disabilities, and learning disabilities. 03:24 Snorkl is one of the best educational technology applications I've used because of its value, reliability, and versatility. 03:50 I share ways to help students believe in themselves, using tools that empower them, not magic. Snorkl is a key tool in this effort. 05:01 The Positive Impact of Snorkl on Students 05:17 When we ask students what they think about using new tools, they report that Snorkl makes them feel smarter, more productive, happier, and safer. 06:31 The student's response, "I feel safe because Snorkl never gives up on me," is particularly meaningful. Special education students face challenges every day, but Snorkl provides confidence and a sense of security through consistent positive feedback. 07:35 Unlike teachers, Snorkl is emotionless, so he consistently provides constructive feedback no matter how many times a student tries, encouraging them to take risks and learn. 08:25 Introduction and initial usage of Snorkl 08:29 In special education, the way tools are introduced is important, and we used a hybrid modeling approach where children input directly and the teacher types, records, and submits. Using the 9:00 Snowman Build prompt as an example, we demonstrated how students could independently read or listen while the teacher typed in the instructions and checked their scores and feedback. 10:13 Snorkl emphasizes the accessibility of feedback, allowing you to hear the feedback aloud by clicking the speaker icon or understand it through picture clues. 11:17 Early days with Snorkl and results 11:30 During the first week, we had a Snorkl challenge every day, always with an easy option as the 'Getting Started' activity. 11:51 Initially, we kept the difficulty level low to help students learn how to use Snorkl and the procedures, and to get them excited. 12:17 At the end of the week, students cheered when it was time for Snorkl, signaling that they could move on to curriculum-based assignments. 13:33 One student noticed and praised Snorkl for using transition words, demonstrating that Snorkl is working effectively. 14:50 Standard Procedures for Using Snorkl and Its Educational Use 14:50 Students always followed the following procedure: write a script, record their response and speak clearly, listen to the recording and check that they did their best, read and apply feedback, and then resubmit after applying the feedback on the whiteboard. 16:44 In special education classrooms, Snorkl feedback can be used to create teaching opportunities for students, helping them understand the importance of evidence and the difference between facts and opinions. 19:48 Snorkl offers a diverse library of assignments, and teachers can modify and adapt the questions to suit their students' needs. 20:56 This example demonstrates the effectiveness of feedback-based education, with a student resubmitting a BTS-related claim that was initially incorrect, with a full 4 points after receiving feedback. 21:48 Snorkl's Additional Features: Insights and Progress Monitoring 21:48 Snorkl's "Insights" tab helps teachers identify common student misconceptions or areas where support is needed, allowing them to spot and adjust instructional moments. 23:07 The Insights screen shows students correctly identifying 1/4 and any misconceptions, such as partial confusion or shape-based errors. 24:35 Snorkl provides the ability to monitor students' progress through their grades, which is useful for teachers to identify areas where they should focus. 25:12 Wrap-up and Contact Information 25:12 Snorkl offers many tools to empower special education teachers and students, and for more information or questions, please contact us by email ( missgeswag@gmail.com ) or scan the QR code.

Timeline 00:00 Welcome and introduction to using Snorkl 00:11 Snorkl's contribution to improving math, science, and language skills in fourth and fifth graders is mentioned. 00:33 Emphasizes that Snorkl is a tool that helps students find their voice and recognize the value of their ideas. 01:29 Presenter Marcela Gomez's introduction and teaching philosophy 01:29 Marcela Gomez is a math and science teacher who focuses on helping students use their voices to solve problems. 01:49 She reveals that she is an ELL from Colombia, a STEM teacher and advocate, and a visiting international teacher in Houston. 02:18 Students' Backgrounds and Teaching Approaches 02:29 Explain that most students are of Hispanic heritage, but there are also students from the Middle East and South Asia. 03:12 He emphasized that the school model needs to change to one that encourages students to 'use their voices', as students tend to be afraid to speak up. 03:43 Focus on measuring student voice through TELPAS and STAR tests. 04:48 Explain that if students can't confidently communicate their thoughts in the language they're learning, it's difficult for them to succeed. 05:27 As a math and science teacher and ELL, I strive to teach language in context and show students that they can succeed. 05:49 Snorkl Introduction and Early Success Strategies 05:49 Snorkl noted that he was trustworthy in providing effective feedback and similar feedback to teachers. 06:44 Suggests specific ways to utilize the class, including writing scripts using Snorkl, recording 1-2 minutes, and conducting activities for 45 minutes twice a week. 07:15 Set training time considering the TELPAS speaking test time limit. 07:56 Encourage verbal expression practice by posing questions in a way that helps visually impaired classmates explain problems. 08:25 Set classroom expectations to hold students accountable for their script writing and recording process. 08:44 Emphasize that students are encouraged to address script issues and provide feedback to their classmates before recording. 09:12 Script writing steps: Read the question aloud, explain the plan, demonstrate the task, and answer the question. 10:08 Feedback and effectiveness from students using Snorkl 10:23 Play a video of students sharing their experiences using Snorkl. 10:46 Students positively evaluated Snorkl's AI feedback for improvement and vocabulary tips. 11:39 Students reported that Snorkl helped them learn, allowed them to re-do problems, and gave them confidence. 11:53 Students experience improved reasoning skills by applying Snorkl strategies to STAR test preparation. 12:29 A student who lacked confidence gained confidence through Snorkl, and a female student who was afraid to speak gained experience of success through a Snorkl assignment. 13:28 Data-Driven Results and Strategy Improvements Using Snorkl 13:44 Presentation of correlation analysis results between midterm and STAR exam results and Snorkl practice. 14:49 Snorkl noted that students who received a 'strong' rating performed better on TELPAS and STAR tests. 15:23 Second attempt, changing the frequency and intensity to shorter workouts, 4 times a week. 15:49 Reading Teachers join as educational partners to expand Snorkl's reach. 16:15 Expand your English language use with a variety of formats, including strip diagrams, comparison charts, and ECR (claim, evidence, reasoning) using the Snorkl whiteboard. 17:08 The gap between the midterm and the original exam has narrowed, showing that the number of students who have mastered the material has increased. 18:27 Highlights increased 'Satisfactory' and 'Master' rates in TELPAS, STAR Math, and STAR Science. 18:53 Graph showing the correlation between Snorkl and TELPAS, STAR Math, and STAR Science scores over two years. 20:33 Snorkl Utilization Plans and Q&A for the New School Year 20:39 I plan to set expectations and develop students' self-directed learning habits through 15-minute Snorkl activities every morning for the new school year. 21:16 Students prepare scripts, record them, review feedback, and revise them three times a day. 22:42 Sharing tips for students who are new to Snorkl or are hesitant to learn, without forcing them, and encouraging them to feel comfortable participating by testing the tools together. 25:49 For students who struggle with writing, pair them with a student who is good at speaking and help them write a script together. 26:48 The teacher demonstrates using Snorkl first, showing his script and recording. 27:37 Assign activities to help fourth graders become familiar with Snorkl so they can better utilize the tool in fifth grade. 28:08 Engage students in fun ways, like the "Getting Started" activity in the Snorkl library. 📊 Summary of Key Results Learner Background : Houston Hispanic 4th-5th grade English Language Learner (ELL) Period of Use : Continuous use for 2 years (2023-2025) Key Achievements : Increased TELPAS pass rates, improved STAAR math and science achievement. Core Strategy : 4-Step Process: Script → Record → Review → Iterate 🎯 Problem Recognition: Finding Your Voice The reality Marcela Gomez (a Colombian mechanical engineer turned teacher) encountered in Houston: "The children were eager to learn, but afraid to speak up. They were passive learners who simply received instructions." Core Philosophy : "You have a voice, so use it." 📝 Step 1: Script it Out Basic Structure (4 Steps) Read the question aloud Explain the plan Show the solution process Final Answer Mr. Gomez's Guide "Solve the problem in a notebook first to make sure the solution is clear." "You need to understand it enough to be able to explain it step by step." 🎙️ Step 2: Record (1-2 minutes)

How to Use Snorkl in the Classroom to Boost Student Voices
A new approach to student-centered learning The most important thing in the classroom is the voice of the students. However, traditional teaching methods make it difficult to hear the thoughts of quiet students, and it is difficult for all students to fully express their learning process. Snorkl is a digital platform that addresses these issues, allowing students to express their thoughts in various ways and improving their learning through AI feedback. Snorkl's core features and educational benefits Unlimited digital canvas While traditional classroom whiteboards are limited by space, Snorkl offers an unlimited canvas. Students have the freedom to explore their thinking processes and explore without fear of making mistakes. Support for various expression methods Students can respond in a variety of ways, including whiteboard recording, voice recording, and text writing, tailored to their preferred learning style. This allows every student to participate in learning in their own way. Designed for Accessibility and Inclusion Easy approach Students can participate in guest mode without creating a separate account, making it easy for anyone from kindergarten to middle school to use. Teachers simply share a link, and students can immediately join the activity by entering their names. Accessibility Tools for All Students Features like voice-to-speech, audio comments, and text-to-speech support the diverse learning styles of all students, including those with special needs. Students who process information differently can learn in a way that suits them. Individualized learning through AI feedback Teacher-led, personalized feedback While AI automatically generates feedback settings, teachers can edit them in real time to tailor them to lesson objectives and student needs. This combines the expertise of teachers with the efficiency of AI. Opportunities for repeated learning and improvement Students are allowed to try multiple times, receive feedback, and improve, allowing true learning to occur. Perfection isn't required on the first try, and learning through failure occurs naturally. Collaborative learning and interaction Content-centered learning through anonymity Students can view each other's work, but the authors' names are not displayed, allowing them to focus purely on the content without being influenced by peer relationships. Even quiet students are given the opportunity to voice their opinions. Sharing diverse perspectives All students' work is shared, allowing them to learn from each other's different approaches and solutions. This promotes the sharing of ideas and mutual learning that is the essence of collaborative learning. Utilization strategies by subject Application in mathematics education You can use digital tools like shapes or document step-by-step problem-solving processes using real-world data. Visualizing and sharing students' mathematical thinking processes helps them understand concepts. Scientific inquiry activities After the experiment, you can record your reflective thoughts and systematically organize your observations and learnings. Using the pause function, you can organize your thoughts and explain them step by step. Social Studies Project Exploring historical figures and events can be expressed in a variety of ways. Creating fictional scenarios can foster critical thinking skills, while evidence-gathering activities can develop analytical thinking.

Snorkel Use in K-12 Classrooms
Summary of Key Content • Snorkel is an AI tool that can be used across all grades and subjects in K-12 educational environments. • Used by 73% of teachers in the Northville School District (47% elementary, 30% middle, and 23% high school) • Students can explain their thinking processes and receive immediate feedback • Used in a variety of subjects (reading, math, Spanish, physics, etc.) from 1st grade to high school • Teachers can provide personalized feedback to every student in a short period of time • Promote a growth mindset: Provide students with opportunities to correct mistakes and try multiple times Background on the introduction of snorkel Since launching ChatGPT, the Northville School District has been looking for ways to responsibly use AI in education. After reviewing about 10 different tools, Snorkel emerged as the most effective. Its ease of use is particularly notable, with first graders using it effectively to improve reading scores and fluency. For math students, it has allowed them to explain their thinking and demonstrate understanding, rather than simply get the answer. In high school, it is used almost daily in Spanish, physics, and chemistry classes. Examples of use in various subjects 1st grade reading class In Julie’s first grade class, students read passages from a book and receive feedback on their fluency. Snorkel recognizes the student’s voice and provides feedback in a natural voice. Students can listen to the feedback and try again to improve. The teacher can see the anonymized student responses and see which students need help in which areas with the “Insights” button. This allows the teacher to provide personalized feedback to all students in just 20 minutes. Math class In math classes, Snorkel is used to ensure that students are not just following the process, but have a true understanding. Students solve a problem on the screen and receive immediate feedback. With a click of a button, they can see where their mistakes were made, and the feedback begins with positive content. After the first response, they receive feedback and students can explain and correct their mistakes. The Insights feature allows teachers to target instruction by identifying specific problems (incorrect subtractions, incomplete explanations, lack of understanding of percentages, etc.) and also provides feedback when the correct answer is correct but the explanation is insufficient, encouraging students to explain their thinking process more clearly. Spanish lessons In Spanish activities, students respond in Spanish and receive feedback in English. Feedback points out incorrect verb conjugation, incomplete responses, and misuse of vocabulary, as well as praise for good work (e.g., correct use of the past perfect tense). This allows teachers to identify which students are having difficulty acquiring the language and to differentiate instruction. Physics class In a high school physics class, Snorkel is used as an assignment. Students take pictures of their work, upload them, and add descriptions. Snorkel reads and analyzes the images and provides feedback. This allows the teacher to provide individual feedback to all 35 students. Features for teachers Snorkel allows teachers to easily create and share activities. Creating an activity takes about 5 minutes, and the system automatically suggests response criteria that match the questions. Teachers can modify these criteria or use them as is. In the Northville School District, elementary school teachers are sharing lesson materials they have created together through Google Docs. Future development plans Snorkel will be introducing folders and libraries by summer to make it easier to exchange and organize activities. It also plans to double its content library by the start of the next school year, and will add standards-based search capabilities. For English learners, features include translation into multiple languages, text and passages can be read aloud, and the ability to insert video and audio on whiteboards will be coming soon. Classroom usability It is possible to have 25 students using it in a classroom at the same time. I have seen students using it in a first grade classroom at the same time, and there have been no major issues other than the Chromebook microphone issue. Up to 35 adults have used it in one room at a time without any issues.

Snorkel Coach: Real-time learning support tool
Snorkel Coach is a new tool that provides students with real-time, personalized learning support. Check out students' whiteboards, understand what they're working on, and provide personalized help. We increase accessibility with multilingual support and read-aloud features, but ultimately let students explain what they understand. Snorkel Coach's Innovative Education Support System Snorkel is an educational platform that provides instant and personalized feedback to help students think more deeply, communicate actively, and articulate their ideas clearly. To further reinforce these core values of Snorkel, the newly launched Snorkel Coach provides real-time support for students when they are struggling with activities assigned by their teachers. When the teacher activates the Snorkel Coach feature, students will have access to the Coach located at the bottom right of the activity page. Here, students can ask questions and receive immediate, specific help. The best feature of Snorkel Coach is that it allows students to see their whiteboards and understand exactly what they are working on. This allows it to provide relevant help tailored to each student’s situation and lesson content. Snorkel Coach also offers translation and text-to-speech capabilities in multiple languages to enhance accessibility for all types of learners, reflecting Snorkel’s core value of ensuring that all students have equal access to rich learning content. The Snorkel team designed learning to not just end with a conversation with AI. After students finish talking to the Snorkel coach, they have to close the conversation window and press the 'record' button to synthesize and explain what they have understood. This is to ensure that students apply their thinking, problem-solving, and interpretation skills, and demonstrate their outstanding abilities in all tasks. Snorkel Coach is an innovative educational support tool that will help every student reach their full potential, opening up new educational possibilities for both teachers and students. /Friend /Nine

New feature in Snorkl: Whiteboard Parish!
The key to learning is sometimes not just watching, but dragging and dropping and doing! We are excited to announce a new update to Snorkl: teachers can now set objects on the whiteboard as 'teaching aids' that students can move around the screen. Need students to match, sort, and create? You’ll have the tools to do it without the mess of physical objects mysteriously disappearing under the desk. It's similar to magic, but it disappears less often. Try some sample activities using the following parishes: Lower Elementary Math: Drag and Drop Place Value Middle School Math: Classifying Equations Society: U.S. Constitution Timeline Science: Cell Structure #Easy learning tools, #Whiteboard teaching aids, #Smart education, #Active learning, #Classroom innovation
