How Scrible Supports Remote Teaching and Mitigates Coronavirus Disruption

Remote Teaching

The research and writing process historically involves face-to-face check-ins between students and educators (teachers and librarians in K12; instructors, tutors and librarians in college) during class time in K12 and office hours and scheduled meetings in college. Educators would meet with students to review and provide feedback on their research (e.g. articles, annotations, citations) and writing (e.g. outlines, drafts, bibliographies). 

Scrible, the most advanced research and writing platform ever built, centralizes all such student work online and makes it available to educators from anywhere. They can access student work remotely to assess it and provide feedback asynchronously within Scrible, eliminating the need for in-person check-ins.

Coronavirus Disruption

So, Scrible can help educators and students continue their research and writing work despite coronavirus disruption preventing them from meeting in-person. As schools and colleges close or go virtual in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, educators are challenged to quickly adapt their instructional practices to stay connected with their students and keep them moving forward on their research and writing work. 

So, in doing our part to help educators and students during this unprecedented crisis, we’re offering our paid education plans for free until July 1, 2020. This gives educators full assignment tracking and management capabilities so they can teach research and writing remotely. Specifically:

  1. K12: Our paid Edu Pro Teacher Plan is free. Request complimentary access here.
  2. Higher Ed: Our paid individual & institutional Edu Pro plans are free. Request complimentary access here.

Stay safe and healthy!
-The Scrible Team

Helping Teachers and Students Stay Connected During Coronavirus Disruption

We’re offering free access to our paid Teacher Plan until July, 1, 2020, for K12 teachers (and their students) whose school is closing or going virtual due to the coronavirus outbreak.

As schools close or go virtual in response to the coronavirus outbreak, we want to do our part to help teachers and students stay connected and productive. We’re committed to helping them continue teaching and learning outside of their physical classrooms.

Scrible is the most advanced platform ever built to support research and writing. The research and writing process historically involves face-to-face check-ins between teachers and students during class time. Teachers would meet with each student to review and provide feedback on their research (e.g. articles, annotations, citations, etc.) and writing (outlines, drafts, bibliographies, etc.), whether that work was in digital or paper form.

Scrible centralizes all such student work in the cloud and makes it available to teachers from any location. They can access student work remotely to formatively assess it and provide feedback asynchronously within Scrible, thereby eliminating the need for in-person, face-to-face discussions. So, we can help teachers and students continue moving forward with their research and writing despite COVID-19 disruption preventing them from being in school together.

WE’RE OFFERING FREE ACCESS TO OUR PAID TEACHER PLAN (EDU PRO TEACHER PLAN) UNTIL JULY 1, 2020, FOR K12 TEACHERS WHOSE SCHOOL IS CLOSING OR GOING VIRTUAL DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK.

If you’re interested for yourself (e.g. teacher), your school (e.g. librarian or administrator) or your child’s school (e.g. parent), fill out this form to request a free upgrade to Scrible Edu Pro Teacher Plan. We’ll respond asap with your upgrade confirmation (for teachers) or next steps (for librarians, administrators and parents).

If you have any questions, email us at contact@scrible.com.

Wishing you good health and safety!

Scrible at MSLA 2018 Conference

Our Scrible Team was thrilled to attend and sponsor the Massachusetts School Library Association (MSLA) 2018 Conference in Worcester, Massachusetts! MSLA works to ensure that every school has a library program that’s integrated across grades and subjects and has a significant, measurable impact on student success. Thanks and congrats to MSLA and the Conference planners for hosting an amazing event that focused on the needs of Massachusetts school libraries and media specialists.

Sponsorship
We were a Silver Sponsor because school librarians are our peops and we’re excited to work with Bay State media specialists!

Mass Librarians
Our CEO, Victor, and Teaching Specialist, Dacey, tag-teamed a booth to demo key features of the Scrible Edu platform. We had meaningful conversations and everyone loved Scrible. It was great to see familiar faces and meet new librarians. We gathered feedback on new features for media specialists and learned how school libraries operate in Massachusetts. We’re looking forward to working with the many folks we met at the Conference!
 

Speakers and Awardees
Day 1 of the Conference concluded with a dinner, awards ceremony and closing keynote by Jennifer​ ​Casa-Todd​ titled Empowering​ ​Students​ To​ Be​ ​Digital​ ​Leaders. The Awards were an opportunity for the Bay State’s school library community to recognize and celebrate its notable advocates, leaders and innovative and impactful librarians. Our CEO was happy to meet Service Awardee Greg Pronevitz, an experienced and widely respected advocate for Massachusetts libraries, and catch up with Opening Keynote Speaker Tom Murray, Director of Innovation for Future Ready Schools.
  

Library, Technology and Media… OH MY!!  We had an awesome time at MSLA and look forward to working with Massachusetts librarians to support research, writing, media literacy and technology skills across the Bay State!

suda-la-escuelita-700x480-05

We were invited to participate in the the EdSurge Silicon Valley Tech for Schools Summit this past Saturday! It’s our 3rd time! It’s always a competitive to process to be invited, with lots of interesting ed tech companies vying for an chance to meet tech savvy teachers face-to-face to demo powerful new products and get feedback to improve them for classroom use. We’re grateful to EdSurge and the local education leaders who evaluated us and found scrible Edu compelling.

In past years, it was held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. For the first time, this year’s Summit was held in the East Bay at the beautiful, new La Escuelita Elementary School in Oakland, CA. Our CEO was there, along with two great educators who are big believers in our mission and have used scrible in-class with their own students.

Thanks to the great Bay Area teachers and administrators who spent time with us! Your enthusiasm for scrible is awesome! We’re excited to support you as you help your students develop the vital research and writing skills they need for college and beyond.
