Goal‑Scoring Feedback: Using Snorkl to Elevate Classroom Play

Thursday July 23, 2026 10:15am - 11:10am CDT

Limited Capacity seats available

Snorkl is a powerful, real‑time feedback tool that helps teachers quickly capture and visualize student thinking. In the classroom, Snorkl supports formative assessment by revealing what students understand—and where they may need more support—before moving on. Teachers can use Snorkl during warm‑ups, checks for understanding, exit tickets, group work reflections, or deeper learning routines. The tool’s real‑time feedback helps educators adjust instruction on the fly, personalize next steps, and facilitate richer class discussions grounded in what students are actually thinking.

With multiple solution paths, these problems highlight how students reason, plan, and adjust their strategies—not just whether they arrive at the correct answer. This structure promotes productive struggle, sparks math discourse, and provides teachers with rich formative insights that support responsive instruction and deeper conceptual understanding.
