Snorkl

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

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.

Snorkl: A Revolution in Formative Assessment Digital whiteboard One of Snorkl’s key features is its digital whiteboard, which allows teachers to upload questions for a variety of K-12 subjects. Students are given the tools to express their thinking and approach the problem with drawings or text. Voice recording function Snorkl has a feature that allows students to record their thoughts by voice. Students can record their explanations by pressing the purple button, and this allows them to verbalize their problem-solving process. For example, in calculating the perimeter of a rectangle, students verbally explain their thoughts and solve the problem. AI analytics and personalized feedback Snorkl uses AI to analyze students’ responses and provide feedback. Students can receive feedback on their visual representations and verbal descriptions, and the AI provides specific suggestions for strengths and areas for improvement, along with a personalized score from 0 to 4. Multilingual support Snorkl supports over 40 languages, allowing students from all backgrounds to receive feedback in their preferred language. This feature is a great help for non-native English speakers to develop their English skills. Useful tools for teachers Snorkl allows teachers to gain insight into student performance and classify student work to identify trends, helping teachers identify common errors and improve instruction. Snorkl is breaking new ground in formative assessment, providing students with deeper insights and enhancing their learning experience with immediate, personalized support. It is quickly becoming an essential tool in the educational field.
