Give the Gift of Analytics to Your Instructional Support Staff
Do you want to analyze and increase app usage across your entire organization? A great place to start is providing your instructional support staff (technology coaches, math coaches, and other staff supporting teachers and students) with the ability to see your ClassLink Analytics data.
With access to this data, instructional support staff can see:
- ClassLink logins (by student, teacher, building, course, & grade level)
- Login data for all of your LaunchPad apps (by student, teacher, building, course, & grade level)
- Logins by hour
- Most and least used apps
- Usage outside of school hours
- And more
Having this data easily accessible can support accountability efforts and help staff understand the context around app usage, investigate issues, support at-risk students and make more informed district budget plans.
For example, technology coaches can filter app usage data by grade level, helping them quickly see if apps are being used with fidelity and according to vendor recommendations for success.
Some other common ways support staff can use this data include:
- Informing instructional practice
- Informing assessment methods
- Improving PD and training
- Informing purchasing decision
- Identifying time spent in apps
- Measuring device and connectivity equity
- Diagnosing digital access and equity
