And that complexity is hard to capture.
gotLearning was born in the classroom. Raised by educators. It focuses on the most important, often overlooked work:
The learning conversations between student and teachers.
Learning Conversations
The back and forth between student and teacher includes: teaching, interpretation, trial and error, feedback and reflections. These interactions are full of qualitative data from many sources. gotLearning’s learning conversations keep all of this learning evidence in one place.
Teachers and students can integrate the technology tools they are already using. They can even include traditional tools pen, paper, posters and artwork. Using gotLearning’s mobile app you can scan student work right into learning conversations!
How gotLearning Works
Students
One place for students to share their learning evidence, receive feedback from teachers and fellow students. Learning evidence can be from their favorite digital tools or notebooks, papers or projects which can be scanned via the gotLearning mobile app.
Teachers
gotLearning helps teachers focus on student learning. No longer do teachers have to search notebooks, online folders, video web apps or email attachments to continue their learning conversations. With gotLearning, this learning data is all in one place!
Specialists
Educational specialists can view and participate in student’s learning conversations and see the overall picture of the student’s growth over time. Now the special education teacher, English Language Learning teacher, instructional coaches etc. can follow specific students across all of their classes.
School Administrators
As school leaders, you can keep your finger on the educational pulse in your classrooms. You are able to follow and support your students and their learning. Using Professional Conversations, you can have learning conversations between just you and your colleagues.
Finally, one place to manage all communication and learning evidence!
As teachers we have our favorite online learning tools, not to mention the ones we have been using for years – notebooks and paper. Students have theirs as well. gotLearning allows both teachers and students to use the tools they want and put their learning evidence all together in learning conversations.
Student Learning is in our DNA
Easily show growth over time
Using evidence from learning conversations teachers and students can show student growth over time. We are not talking about test scores, we help you organize student’s work through your ongoing learning conversations – their thinking, rough drafts, feedback from you and others, student reflections and revisions.
