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)

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.

In this article, you will learn about the core features of Snorkl AI's new writing tool and how to use it in the classroom. In particular, you will see how it improves students' writing skills and teachers' feedback efficiency. Summary of Key Content Expanding from traditional whiteboard functionality to a professional writing tool Introducing AI-based personalized feedback system Upload and manage teacher materials features Track student writing progress and monitor progress Ensuring learning integrity with paste detection A revolutionary change in Snorkl AI writing tool First and foremost, Snorkl has evolved from a simple whiteboard tool to a professional writing education platform . Over the past year, I’ve seen many teachers go from having their students write short answers on a whiteboard to now being able to focus on longer pieces and more structured writing skills . 🔍 Powerful settings for teachers When teachers create activities, they now have three options to choose from: Whiteboard recording Use only whiteboard Writing Activities (New Feature) One particularly interesting feature is the upload feature , which allows teachers to add reading materials or other resources as a base document for students to reference in their writing. It’s almost like implementing an actual thesis writing environment in the classroom. A complete transformation of the student experience 📊 Intuitive interface configuration The screen that students see is very systematically organized: Left area : Prompt confirmation and voice reading function Various materials uploaded by teachers

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 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

Key points at a glance • The AI education field has completely changed since the introduction of ChatGPT. • Snorkl is an AI-based language learning tool that supports over 50 languages. • Maximize students’ motivation to learn language with real-time feedback • Dramatically improves teacher work efficiency & enables individualized learning • A noticeable increase in students’ confidence and engagement The power of AI education proven in the field "At first, I started because the name was funny. Aren't you curious about 'Snorkl'?" As soon as Spanish teacher Dr. Rachelle Dene Poth opened her mouth, the classroom erupted in laughter. But what she told next was more than just fun. AI meets education, and changes Dr. Poth, who has been interested in AI education for seven years, has seen dramatic changes in the education world since the advent of ChatGPT. “At first, everyone was worried about cheating. But that’s changed now. AI is a new opportunity.” She says that when she first introduced Snorkl, she deliberately avoided mentioning that it was an AI. "I wanted to see the students' natural reaction. And surprisingly, the first student immediately said, 'Is this an AI?'" Snorkl's innovative features • Real-time feedback: Provides students with personalized feedback as soon as they submit their answers • Multilingual support: Learning and feedback available in over 50 languages • Flexible use: Use in a variety of situations, from classroom activities to homework • Customized assessment: Teachers can directly set the AI’s assessment criteria Changes in actual classroom settings "It was impossible to have a proper conversation with all 24 students during the short 42-minute class period. Most of the time, it ended with something like, 'Hello? How are you? Yes.'" But with Snorkl, things changed. Students practiced the language at their own pace, got immediate feedback, and gained confidence. "Students are no longer afraid of making mistakes. They say that AI feedback is less burdensome than teacher evaluations. And the fact that they can try again whenever they want is a big plus." Advice for future education Dr. Poth offers this advice to teachers who are hesitant about adopting AI: "Getting started is half the battle. AI is now an unstoppable trend. Learn and grow alongside your students with tools like Snorkl. It's okay to make mistakes, because we're all learning together." The classroom has already changed. The question now is not, “Should we introduce AI?” but “How can we use it more effectively?”

The core function of this platform is to record the process of students explaining their thoughts verbally while simultaneously working on the screen. Students can respond to given questions or tasks in various ways, such as drawing, entering text, or inserting formulas. Once the student completes the response, the AI immediately begins analyzing it. The AI evaluates the accuracy of the student’s response, the quality of the explanation, and provides 2-3 specific pieces of feedback. This feedback is structured to compliment the student’s strengths and provide specific suggestions for areas where improvement is needed. Features for teachers Snorkel also provides powerful tools for teachers. In addition to reviewing individual student responses, teachers can view trends and insights for the entire class as analyzed by AI. This allows teachers to understand the learning situation of the entire class and focus on what is needed. Multilingual support and collaboration features Snorkel supports over 50 languages, making it ideal for multilingual learning environments. Students can receive feedback in their preferred language, which is a huge help in language learning. It also provides a collaborative feature where students can view and comment on each other’s responses, depending on the teacher’s settings. How to use and account types Teachers can create a free account on snorkel.app. A free account allows you to create 20 activities, which is more than enough for most teachers. Snorkel offers a library of pre-made content, but teachers can easily create their own activities. When creating an activity, all you have to do is give it a title, type a question on the whiteboard, and configure the AI settings. The AI settings are mostly automatic, but teachers can modify them as needed. Future development plans The Snorkel team is constantly improving the platform. Future plans include a new progress view to make it easier to see students’ progress, improved visibility into standards, and a new feature called ‘Snorkel Coach.’ We’ll also be adding more assignment type options, including an audio-only Canvas option.

Snorkel isn't just your average educational app. It's made by real teachers who are working hard in real classrooms. Jeff Plourd and Jon Laven are the two main characters! 🤔 How did snorkels come into being? During a time when everyone was struggling due to COVID-19, Jeff and Jon saw teachers using various tools to record students’ thoughts, especially in math classes. "Wait a minute, isn't it important to know whether you got it right or wrong?" "Yes, it's more important to understand the process of how students solve problems!" This is how the idea that started it all became the snorkel. 🎉 Amazing features of snorkel AI Teacher: When students submit their answers, AI immediately analyzes them and provides feedback.
