Common Core Look-fors (Mathematics, Technology, English Language Arts) App Reviews

Quickly record observation data and report that data in real-time! Allows teachers to track their progress through the standards and tweet their success.

A mandatory app for K-12 teachers and teacher leaders who are serious about engaging in deep conversations about the Common Core Mathematics content standards and mathematical practices in their classrooms and schools.

Wow. This is an amazing app. I would love to see one for reading too. I wish I was smart enough to design an app for walk throughs. Thanks-

This is the first application of this type that we have seen. It seems to be a wonderful way to interact with peers (or simply gather information about your own classroom) around the Standards for Mathematical Practice in the Common Core State Standards. My colleagues and I had a bit of trouble getting started with the app, but we received quick and easy to follow support from the creators! It is so easy to use and to create simple graphs of the data you gather. We recommend only working on one or two of the Standards at a time, which makes using the tool even more managable.

I wish this app was good, but it is not. Sorry.

Very nice app to organize important resources related to the common core standards.

Most helpful for analysis of 8 practices as they occur in classrooms. Customer service is exemplary.

I just downloaded this app onto my iPhone and am already thinking about prospects for use with our teachers. The iPad version offers even more possibilities for instant meetings, interactivity, and visual displays of collected data. The ease of use gives it the feel of an apple-designed app which makes it feel as though its integrated with my devices. Plan to develop PD around the app to gain full benefits of the collaborative features. Will share again once its implemented. Returning after several uses to let everyone know that this has been very beneficial for collaborating around behaviors in the classroom. Im looking forward to the ELA look-fors inclusion. Discovered areas for improvement immediately upon looking at the graphs. Full documentation of record for everyone has opened up courageous conversations during collaboration! Would like to see bar graph in PDF and ability to export to Excel. Keep the updates coming! Thanks!

Wow! This is seriously a must-have app for admins responsible for conducting classroom observations and/or evaluations. Very easy to use interface, and fantastic tools that allow observers to access, record, and share exactly the information they need on the fly. The visual reporting feature provides handy graphs of data collected, and the one-tap to send feedback to teacher is perfect. An administrators dream come true!

This is a waste of money!!!!!!!

I love this app because it provides me a chance to help my teachers before those critical observation meeting. We were informed from the creator the reading/ELA standards will be up soon so I look forward to sharing it with my reading coach.

The math practices are just as important as the content standards, when is an update coming that includes those? Those practices are how students are expected to show proficiency those should be seen in observations and spoken about amongst teachers.

Complete waste of money for language arts

not user friendly, hard to scroll, save you dimes....

I cant even figure out how to get started.

A number of educators that I follow recommended this app, but it is not operating as advertised. I try to create an account and it crashes. I try to access the resources and it crashes. Prior to mid – 2012, this app and received great reviews, but since then the reviews are horrible. I tried it out, thinking that I could figure it out, but this program will not work. It is a waste of money. Its really too bad…I had planned to share this app with a grad class next week.
