Documentation

How do we add data now? I can’t seem to figure it out after the update.

Can’t log in

Called technical support and didn’t help. I can log in on my computer but not through this app.

Too Many Kinks

This app has so much potential… My district made the teachers switch from dojo to this and no one is happy. First off on dojo, esl families can translate messages and vice versa. This app gives no translation support. You can’t even copy and paste messages to put into Google Translate. You have to click “use as documentation” and open that- only then can you highlight it to copy. Second, you can’t see which families have viewed your messages like you could with dojo. This makes it harder to know if a family has seen what you posted or not. Third, you can’t delete messages in the app. Not only that it is so visually unappealing and boring. Whoever designed this tried to quickly get it made and took in no user friendly consideration. I wish we could use dojo again.

Too complicated

Too complicated for “in the moment” needs. When document is uploaded it still shows in app, adding to confusion and extra work. Too much clicking.

Thank you and we are very sorry to hear you are having this problem! Once documentation is uploaded to Gold it is removed from the TST app. Media items attached to documentation will still be visible in My Media, and documentation that you have saved but not uploaded is saved to the In Progress tab. For more about we recommend checking out our Quick Hits video which describes how documentation works on the app: https://teachingstrategies.my.site.com/portal/s/teaching-strategies-teacher Please contact our Support Team or join our upcoming "Transitioning to TS Teacher app" webinar if you continue to have questions.

Very glitchy

The app is very glitchy. Documentation can take over a week to upload. I will send messages to parents and they won’t receive them until many weeks after. I do not recommend using this for parent communication.

Thank you for your comment. This issue should not be happening and should have been resolved in our most recent release. Ensure you have the latest version of TS Teacher installed and please contact our support team ASAP at techsupport@teachingstrategies.com or 1-866-736-5913. Thank you.

Almost perfect! Almost!

If I could change the date on the add documentation page it would be perfect! I have to go back in on the website to change them to the date they actually took place which is such a hassle!

Hi Kayla! Thank you for your comment. Having the ability to change the date on the add documentation screen is a commonly requested feature and is something we are working on. We suggest setting TS Teacher to automatically update on your device so that you can be sure to get access to the latest features as soon as they become available. Thanks!

Almost convenient

I would really like to be able to import more than one photo at a time. Other than that, the app is convenient and easy to use.

Hi Liza! Thank you for your comment. The ability to import multiple photos at one time is an existing feature which can be accessed via the ellipsis menu (...) on the My Media screen. Go to My Media. Tap the ... on the top right then select "Import from Camera Roll". From there you can select one or multiple photos or videos to upload. Keep the great feedback coming! Thanks!

Portrait View only

It is frustrating that this app works in portrait view only. I wish it would turn to landscape so I could use my Magic Keyboard for my iPad to type notes into my documentation. This would make documentation much faster than having to type with the onscreen keyboard. I hope this is changed in future updates.

Hi Lis. Thanks for your comments. You'll be happy to hear that Landscape View for tablets is now available (version 1.1.0)! We suggest setting TS Teacher to automatically update on your device to ensure you are always using the latest version. We hope you'll give it a try and let us know what you think.

Might be okay once it actually works

Update:
I can now tag children, but after assigning objectives it sits in “uploading to Ts gold” for a few days. Depending on what tab you’re on, you can’t tell if you already used a photo and it’s in the “waiting” phase

This app doesn’t work yet. The surface features are there, but you can’t actually tag a child to a photo or upload yet.
