Interactive Worksheets

1 interactive worksheets

We are very excited to launch our new interactive worksheets, transforming the way students engage with their class materials. Each student now receives their own digital copy of the worksheet supplied by the teacher. 

Key functionality: 

  • Editable and submittable: students can easily edit and submit their completed worksheets digitally. This is an ideal solution for note-taking, particularly for junior students. 
  • Enhanced teacher-student interaction: teachers can interact with student worksheets in real-time, providing immediate feedback and monitoring progress across the entire class. 
  • Simplified and efficient: our interactive worksheets simplify the learning process for all students, making classroom management more efficient for teachers. 

With these innovative worksheets, teachers can now provide constructive feedback both before and after submission, fostering a more engaging and supportive learning environment.

Unit Planner: Enhancements

The Schoolbox Unit Planner was introduced to the Schoolbox platform in 2023, providing teachers and curriculum leaders with a birds eye view of an entire course in one single page. 

With this release, we have enhanced the unit planner to be even more user friendly and address some of the different pain points of different school communities. 

A requirement of the IB framework is that teachers must display their courses on their classroom wall for compliance purposes. So we have introduced the ability for teachers to print out their unit planners. 

From the unit planner view, teachers now have the option to update their content and create new activities and lessons directly via the unit planner. Plus, teachers can now set multiple columns on the unit planner to focus on different areas of the curriculum / your own schools requirements are reflected in the unit planner so it can be tailored to your schools needs 

Staff can also drag and drop units to move them around in the unit planner, which is helpful when rearranging what semester you teach a particular part of the curriculum in.

Schoolbox Web App: Notifications

3 notifications

Recently, Schoolbox released its own native web app, which allows students, staff and parents to access core Schoolbox functionality via the app on their own devices.  

This means that your school community can access the relevant information and SBX features on the go. 

With major release 24.0, we have introduced the ability for users to now receive notifications directly to their devices via the app. New content, updates, feedback,  

We have now extended this capability to integrate with the user’s device, allowing notifications to be delivered to iOS, Android, Windows, and MacOSX devices directly.
