We’re like an open book.

Thanks to everyone who came and talked to us this week at CUE in Palm Springs. The conference was all about the Common Core, so we were happy to be accepted to speak with Dena Glynn, a 4th/5th grade teacher at Poway Unified in San Diego, about how Subtext is being used in her classroom.

Meeting with our teachers is always a "team favorite", and this week we've had the pleasure to meet with all sorts of educators: language arts teachers, social studies teachers, tech directors and the ever-important librarians and media specialists. Two of our highlights at FETC this year... Two of our highlights at FETC this year...

We were happy to be included as one of Greg Kulowiec's 6 apps for student collaboration on the iPad, as posted in Edudemic. The commonality across these six apps is that they all make teachers' lives easier when they are short on time, but big on their belief in collaboration and 21st century skills.

Having spent countless hours observing and participating in untold classrooms in NYC, Boston, and Baltimore over the years, I have often caught a student staring at a book, handout, or some type of reading, and felt prompted to offer help based on their body language. We all know the nuances of spotting a student that doesn’t understand what they are reading: the hand on the forehead, the blank stare, or perhaps worst of all – the universal sign of surrender – head resting on the arm.

We have been hard at work for the last couple of months on a new version of our product – Subtext 2.0. So what’s new in Subtext 2.0? You now have unprecedented visibility into how your students are reading. By focusing the app around the interactions inside a text and adding a ‘Recent Group Activity’ dashboard, we hope to give you the information you need to individualize your students’ reading experience.
