This episode is brought to you by Snorkl.

As educators, we want students to express and explain their thinking. We want to hear their thoughts on a science question, a story, or a math problem. But listening to each student one-on-one is nearly impossible.***

Snorkl lets students record their thinking with a virtual whiteboard and uses AI for immediate, personalized feedback. This works for any question at any grade level.

They explain how Snorkl came to be, the void they were trying to fill, the hurdles that came along with that journey, and the feedback they received from their early adopters. These two educators had their heart in the right place when developing their brainchild and did it for all of the right reasons. And if you’re wondering what’s on the horizon for Snorkl, they give us a little insight on their top secret update they’re working on. Give this episode a listen because you won’t be disappointed.
