Reviews of Equity Maps

  • Amazing data on discussions.

    I have never seen a tool like Equity Maps before. It allows teacher to collect critical data on all aspects of a verbal discussion. I recently took a course on how to improve class discussions and one key piece is to reflect on it after and Equity Maps helps you do that very well.
  • Elementary Socratic Seminars will never be the same!

    This app has been so useful in helping my students develop their skills and proficiency in Socratic Seminars. They find it highly motivational to see the connections as they're made and we’ve started using it in the goal setting and reflection phases as well. My principal came in when we were using it and was blown away by how we were using the data it provides. My students love to look at past feedback frames to see their growth over time. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to delve deeper into Socratic Seminars and see great progress in the students’ ability to goal set and grow academically.
  • My favorite app

    Equity Maps is my favorite app right now. It does everything I need to keep track of discussions and seminars. My students love to replay seminars and look at the various participation graphs. I love the fact that I can record the audio for our discussions for those times when I write report cards or need some reminders about specific students. A fantastic app that more teachers should use!
