Reviewing Student Work in Snorkl
1. Use the Insights Tab
The Insights Tab gives you a class-level overview of how students are performing.
View trends in scores, participation, and engagement.
Identify which objectives or skills need more attention.
Spot patterns, such as consistent misconceptions or language challenges.
This high-level view helps you decide where to focus your next lesson or what to address in class discussion.
2. Explore the Progress Tab
The Progress Tab allows you to zoom in on growth over time.
See each student’s submissions over time.
Listen to their recordings and view their written/drawn responses.
Track how feedback has influenced revisions and improvement.
These patterns can reveal which students are developing stronger reasoning habits and which may need more scaffolding.
3. Review Individual Recordings
When reviewing recordings:
Play student responses to hear their reasoning in their own words.
Compare early and later attempts to assess progress.
Use Snorkl’s AI feedback as a starting point for targeted conferences or small-group instruction.
Discussing Student Work with the Class
Sharing student work helps build a culture of reflection, growth, and peer learning. Here’s how to do it effectively:
1. Consider How to Share Student Work
You have two great options for sharing student recordings in class:
Option 1: Make Work Anonymous
Hide names so the focus stays on the thinking, not the person. Snorkl makes it easy to anonymize responses while still showing real examples.
Option 2: Share and Celebrate Student Work
With permission, highlight students by name to celebrate strong reasoning or growth. Recognizing student voices can motivate others and build pride in their progress.
2. Use Student Work with Permission
If you plan to showcase work, ask students for permission first. Many love having their thinking highlighted once they see how it helps their peers learn.
3. Facilitate Discussion
Play the selected student recording for the class. Then:
Invite students to stop and jot: What made this a strong (or clear) response?
Use “Turn and Talk”: Let students discuss what they noticed about reasoning, explanation, or strategy.
Ask reflection questions: What do you notice about how this student explained their thinking? How does it connect to your own approach?
This approach helps students internalize quality criteria and build their own academic language.
4. Close the Loop
After discussion, encourage students to return to their own work with new ideas:
“Now that we’ve seen what made that response a 4, take a moment to revise or record again with those same strengths in mind.”
This process transforms examples into actionable feedback and empowers students to own their learning.
