Making Learning VisibleCapture, Document & Communicate Learning
Using the teacher app, educators can capture, document, and
communicate meaningful examples of student learning through
secure digital portfolios. While parents are provided ongoing
communication that matters, students are given the opportunity
to have a voice in their learning.
FreshGrade was recently featured by Apple Education and is the
technology behind the learning initiative that received the coveted
2015 ISTE Sylvia Charp award. Freshgrade has been featured in CNN,
EdSurge, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, and Venture Beat.

PROVIDE FEEDBACK
After capturing learning, you can provide
personalized feedback or create custom “quick
notes” to save time typing out feedback that
you provide time and time again.
TRACK STUDENT PROGRESS
You can compare learning samples from
one term to the next, which provides tangible
evidence for assessments and demonstrates
student progress.
SUPPORT IEP
Create activities and assign to specific students
only. You can include a variety of resources
(documents, links, audio/video files, etc.) to
support your lesson and connect with the
students in a way that best supports their
learning style.
Enabling Teachers. Empowering Students. Engaging Parents.
DOCUMENT STUDENT LEARNING
Utilize both mobile and tablet devices
to capture learning through video,
audio, picture, and anecdotal notes.
Tag individuals, groups or the whole
class. Tagged learning automatically
saves to individual student portfolios.
COLLABORATE ON LEARNING
In the privacy of the student’s digital portfolio,
you are able to comment on their work and
connect with the student and their parents to
support that student’s learning.
DELIVER IMPACTFUL REPORTING
In addition to traditional reporting and
gradebook functionality, FreshGrade offers
impactful ways to report on and communicate
student learning, including:
“Learning Highlights”
Real-time learning snapshots sent to parents.
“Summary Reports”
Capturing your overall feedback
and assessments in a single place,
to accompany the digital portfolio.
“FreshGrade Moments”
Personalized learning slideshows for each
student, using pictures from their portfolio –
music included!
MONITOR ACTIVITY
In addition to push notifications, an activity
feed in the mobile app captures all new
portfolio activity in one place. You’ll be able
to easily keep track of new student and parent
comments, uploaded work and more.
SEND CLASS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Create and send important class-wide
announcements to students and/or parents
to keep them up to date. Have you ever
wondered if your message gets through?
You’ll be able to see who has opened and
read your announcement.

“ FreshGrade allowed us an opportunity to inform instruction, to give parents a window into the classroom and at the end of the day, our ability to say to teachers, “Maybe we don’t need to do report cards the same way we’ve always done.”
Jordan TinneySuperintendent, Surrey Schools
“ FreshGrade will change the way I teach. It’s always been a bit of a hassle to share information with parents. This makes it super easy to send them anything. And I have an instant record of the student’s work.”
Max ShaferTeacher, Fenton Charter Public Schools
“ Students are truly learning, improving since I started using FreshGrade. My evaluations are better because of the evidence I am collecting, especially evidence of speaking French which was always hard to evaluate. Because I can see their work in their portfolio and can refer to it, I have evidence of what my students are doing well and what they need to do to improve in other areas.”
Michele Greene-HansenGrade 9 Teacher, Ontario
“ FreshGrade is a great tool for teachers looking for ways to provide students with authentic, real-time feedback without necessarily using traditional numerical or letter-based grades. I want my students to do meaningful, relevant work and receive timely feedback on it.”
Darren MassaMiddle School Teacher. Chico County Day School
“ Most parents comment that home communications have moved from non-existent to much more informative. Before, parents would need to probe with the typical question, “What did you do today?” Now, parents have something specific to start their conversation with, and know in a timely way if their child needs support in a specific area.”
Mr. Antonio VendraminPrincipal, Cambridge Elementary
“ As I progress through the term, FreshGrade tracks the activities I’ve taught per objective and shows which students need extra support to meet expectations, which students require reassessment, and which students can move on to advanced work.
Jamie HendersonTeacher, WIllowstone Academy
“ We have noticed some pride and greater ownership for student learning — students are proud of their portfolios and able to share their learning journey with their family.”
David DekerfPrincipal, George Vanier
