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
