Teacher Dashboard#310

I love the projector screen during the live game, however, it would be nice to be able to see how many questions students are answering during a game. Something similar to the report that is generated once the game has ended? I have some students that answer 100s of questions, and some that answer only a few, so it would be nice to see this, and their accuracy, as the game is going.

I would really love this. It would help pinpoint slackers, identify problems, spike / remove students, see each student’s totals, make sure all the kids are using powerups, etc. Also, it could be used to add fresh questions partway through a match.

I love this idea! I would say that about 85% of my students LOVE Gimkit and 10% play because they’re just great kids who follow directions. However, there are the kids who fall into the other 5% who are my pains the butt… I have to threaten to check the report with a fine comb for them to play, all because they don’t want to follow MY directions. (To be clear, they love Gimkit in their other classes…sigh…) If I could see (on my own screen, not the big screen) exactly who is not answering questions or answering veeerrrryyyy slllooooowwwwwlllllyyy, I could encourage that student one-on-one to both remind the student to play AND help build that teacher-student relationship!

I would like to see everything at the homepage/launch on the teacher dashboard in one place i.e. reports, kits. It’s difficult and takes too many clicks to get to the reports.

Hi! I am loving this and my students love it! I am with these other educators who say that a teacher dashboard is a critical tool! I find is very difficult to find and track student progress on skills. I had a bit of a hard time getting started in figuring out how to find and assign kids, and overall is not very intuitive to use from a teacher perspective. I am tech savvy, so I figured it out–but a few tweaks could make it much easier.

Happy to provide feedback or talk through specifically what would be helpful from a middle school math teacher perspective!

Other platforms with dashboards that track student progress in a meaningful way for me: Khan Academy (love that I can see a students progress across multiple skills throughout the year), Quizizz is good for individual activities, but I would prefer to have a more longitudinal tracking feature if possible there too…

I agree the teacher dashboard should give universal “power”. It would be nice for the teacher to be able to pause, stop, close out screens, adding money/powerups, helping low kids, checking participation, etc.

At the end, when I need to end the game early (because we just ran out of time!) I’d love a STOP button-so that they will stop and also so they can see the statistics of their answers

I would love to be able to see what the kids see, too. It would help to help them. For example, the first time they play a game they may not know what to do with, say, infinity stones to activate them.
