One of the biggest drawbacks of today’s school system is providing custom feedback for each student.
For teachers, it’s time-consuming. And many of us think … “If I spend all that time providing feedback and the student doesn’t even look at it, what good does it do?”
We’ve wrestled with this in traditional homework for ages. Student turns in an assignment and doesn’t get it back for days. And by then, they’re not interested anymore. They’ve moved on!
Timely feedback is key.
Now, thanks to Snorkl, we can get timely feedback — and we can get even more.
Snorkl (snorkl.app) provides a unique feedback experience …
- Students can write and draw — and even record their voice — to answer questions.
- Snorkl can see and analyze the student’s canvas — and listen to a transcript of the student’s recording.
- It provides immediate feedback, analyzing everything the student provided.
- Students can adjust their work and resubmit to improve their score.
Gone is the old, stale homework feedback. Instead, students get timely feedback based on their OWN favorite way of showing what they’ve learned — writing, drawing, speaking, etc.
That’s what Snorkl is all about … and it supports learning across all ages, subjects, and languages.
Let’s take a closer look at Snorkl and what it can do …
What is Snorkl?
Snorkl is an innovative educational platform that uses AI to provide students with instant personalized feedback on their responses to questions or prompts assigned by their teachers.
Students record their thinking on a digital whiteboard using various tools like drawing, highlighting, typing text, inserting equations, and uploading images, while simultaneously explaining their thought process aloud. This is “multimodal” — interpreting students’ verbal AND visual explanations — to get a more well-rounded understanding of what students know.
Snorkl’s AI technology analyzes student work, assesses correctness, evaluates explanation strength, and offers timestamped feedback designed to promote deeper thinking.

10 ways to provide instant feedback with Snorkl

Math Problem-Solving
Have students solve math problems step by step on the digital whiteboard, explaining their thinking out loud. Snorkl’s AI will analyze both their verbal and visual work and give them feedback on the accuracy of their answer, the strength of their explanation, and specific areas for improvement.

Reading Comprehension
Ask students to read a short passage and answer comprehension questions using Snorkl. Students can highlight text, draw on the whiteboard, and verbally explain their thinking. The AI will assess their understanding of the text and provide feedback on their responses.

Science Experiments
Students can use Snorkl to document science experiments, explaining their procedures, observations, and conclusions. They can upload images of their experiment, label diagrams, and use the drawing tools to illustrate their findings. Snorkl will provide feedback on their scientific thinking and the clarity of their explanations.

Vocabulary Practice
Introduce new vocabulary words and have students create visual representations of the words and use them in sentences on the Snorkl whiteboard. They can draw pictures, create word webs, or define vocabulary in their own words while recording their explanations. Snorkl will provide feedback on their understanding of the vocabulary and the accuracy of their usage.

Historical Analysis
Present students with a historical event or figure and have them record their analysis using Snorkl. Students can create timelines, maps, or diagrams to support their explanations. The AI will provide feedback on their historical understanding, the depth of their analysis, and the quality of their evidence.

Creative Writing Prompts
Utilize Snorkl for creative writing by providing students with prompts and having them record their stories, poems, or scripts. The AI will offer feedback on elements like creativity, clarity, and grammar.

Oral Language Practice
Snorkl is an ideal tool for practicing oral language skills. Have students respond to prompts, discuss current events, or debate different viewpoints. The AI can provide feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary. This is especially helpful for multilingual learners who can record in over 50 languages and receive feedback in their native language.

Project-Based Learning
Students can use Snorkl to present their project findings, demonstrate their understanding of concepts, and reflect on their learning process. They can upload images, or create presentations on the whiteboard, and Snorkl will provide feedback on the clarity of their presentations and the depth of their understanding.

Visible Thinking
Ask students to demonstrate their understanding of a concept by creating a concept map on the Snorkl whiteboard, verbally explaining the connections between the ideas. Snorkl will provide feedback on the accuracy of their map and the clarity of their explanations. Try creating some activities with these Thinking Routines from Project Zero.

Self-Reflection
Have students use Snorkl to reflect on their learning, set goals, or provide feedback on their own work. This can help them develop metacognitive skills and become more independent learners. Snorkl can help guide their reflection with prompts and questions during feedback.
