🤿Not sure how Snorkl fits your grade level or subject? Here are 4 quick ways our teachers can use it tomorrow:
🔹 Elementary Math: Snap a photo of a physical whiteboard, then record a 30-second audio clip explaining the regrouping steps.
🔹 Middle School ELA: Annotate a short poem while talking through theme identification.
🔹 Science: Draw the stages of photosynthesis on the canvas while explaining energy transfer.
🔹 World Languages: Practice oral vocabulary and pronunciation with real-time feedback.

Imagine having an assistant for every student in your room 🤖💬.When a student submits their Snorkl recording, the built-in AI listens to their explanation and provides instant, targeted feedback based on criteria YOU set. Instead of waiting until you grade 30 papers at home, students get immediate guidance to revise their work in the moment. Plus, teachers maintain full control to review or edit feedback anytime!

🤿Getting started with Snorkl takes less than 2 minutes on student Chromebooks:
1️⃣ Sign in with Google (No extra passwords to remember!).
2️⃣ Open a digital whiteboard prompt.
3️⃣ Click record to draw, write, and speak through the explanation.
⭐Whether solving a fraction, labeling a science diagram, or annotating a sentence, students get a safe space to verbalize their ideas.

🤷‍♀️Ever ask a student how they got an answer, and they just shrug and say, "I just did"?
🤿Enter Snorkl—the tool that turns our Chromebooks into interactive thinking pads! ➡️Students don't just type an answer; they record their screen while drawing and talking through their reasoning.
💡The best part? Immediate, scaffolded feedback that guides them right when they need it. Sign in instantly with your district Google account to check it out! 🩴🥽
