How it works

Check-In in three steps

Here’s the whole flow, start to finish.

1
Pick a prompt
Choose an emoji scale or write your own check-in question for the day.
2
Students tap in
Each student quietly picks how they feel as they settle in.
3
Review the trends
See where the class landed today, and watch how the mood moves across weeks.

A quick read on how the class is doing

Checking in should feel safe for students and take you almost nothing to keep up.

One-tap scale
Students pick where they’re at on a simple five-point scale — Great down to Struggling — in a single tap.
Private by default
Answers never appear on the display for the class to see. They go to you, and only you.
Trends over time
A line chart tracks the class across weeks, so a hard stretch stands out before it adds up.
Your own trackers
Go beyond mood — build a “Ready to learn” or energy check-in, and keep each one’s history.
The trends view

See the whole class over time

Every check-in rolls up into a picture of how the class is doing, week over week.

Check-In trends and history for a class
  1. 1
    Watch the trend
    A line across the weeks shows whether the class is climbing or dipping, so a rough stretch stands out early.
  2. 2
    Every session, saved
    Each check-in is logged with the date, how many responded, and the class average — ready to revisit any time.
  3. 3
    More than mood
    Run several trackers side by side — “Morning Mood Check,” “Ready to Learn,” or one you build yourself.
Lives on the whiteboard
Students tap in on the display as they arrive, but each answer stays private to you — the board shows the routine, never how anyone's actually feeling.
