Snorkl Coach is an AI-powered chat assistant designed to help students think through their responses and get unstuck — while still doing their own reasoning.
How It Works
When Snorkl Coach is turned on for an activity, students can open a chat window on their whiteboard to ask for help or clarification while working.
🤖 Snorkl Coach provides guiding prompts, not answers — helping students reason through the problem step-by-step.
💬 Students can type their questions or use voice-to-text to chat.
🧠 Snorkl Coach only supports students on the current task — it doesn’t reference or access their past work.
🌎 Snorkl Coach responds in the student’s chosen language.
Once students finish working with Snorkl Coach, they’ll still need close out of Snorkl Coach to record their final response as usual.
