CLASS app

  • 1.  CLASS app

    Posted 07-31-2020 10:48
    Good morning, 
    I am wondering if anyone uses the app when observing rather than the booklets? I am curious to know if it's better, more efficient and easy to print reports from. 
    Thank you for any feedback!

    Hi @Susan Gill and @Sandy Johnson,

    Thank you so much for reaching out! I am a Teachstone employee and have used both score sheets and the app and I do find that I can be just as efficient with the score sheet and the app. We did just update the app quite a lot, so if you haven't looked at it in a little while, I would encourage you to update your application via the app store and check out the new features! I think that using the app has a lot of nice perks, such as being able to share observation data easily and being able to store observations digitally. I think it is also a little easier to print than scanning score sheets. I hope this helps!

    Best,
    Allison

    Thank you for the information. I have the app but I don't see the score sheets in it.  How does it work when observing?

    Hi @Susan Gill,

    The  myTeachstone CLASS Observation app streamlines the capture of observation data to the myTeachstone platform for individual and aggregate analysis; sharing the observation data with coaches, teachers, and admins. The data is also preserved in the myTeachstone platform for easy, long-term reference as well. When you download the app, you will be able to log in with your myTeachstone email and password. It will then walk you thought a little tutorial on how to use some of the features, such as toggling between active observations and completed observations, or starting a new observation in the upper right corner of the screen. The app is really nice because you can type on the tablet you are using with an external keyboard or on the screen, or you can write in the boxes with an apple pencil. You can then tap score, and the domain and dimension averages will be automatically calculated for you. I have attached a little photo from the app that may help as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions, thank you so much!

    Best,
    Allison

    Hi @Lauren Woodrow,

    ​Thank you so much for asking, we know there is a need for this app for android devices as well and are working on that, but do not have a time estimate of when this will be available at this time. We are prioritizing this, as well as some other needs here in the CLC. I hope this helps!

    Best,

    Do we have to create a separate account to log in to the app?  My teachstone username and password is not allowing me to log in to the app.

    Hi @Tanya Bezy,

    In order for you to use the app with your teachstone login, you do need to have access to myTeachstone, usually through your organization. You will know if you have myTeachstone by logging into your panel and if you see the learning resources tile, you do have myTeachstone. ​In this case, the login you use will work for both the app and for your panel. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions!

    Best,
    Allison

    Hi @Dian Wise,

    The application itself has no fee, but you do need to have myTeachstone to collect data in this way. If you are interested in learning more about myTeachstone including pricing, I would be happy to connect you with someone who can help you with this!

    Best,

    Hi @Amanda Hamm, the iOS myTeachstone CLASS Observation App ​is currently designed for use with an iPad or other iOS devices. 
    Can you share more about how or where you'd like to have it available?
