What's New in SOTO (Student On

1.2.4

September 25, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Fixed a bug that caused SOTO to take quite a long time to open. With this new version, it only takes a few seconds for SOTO to load.

Useless

Worked great before iOS update--now worthless.

Broken

As many others have noted. This app does not operate on current iOS (as of 1/6/16).

Completely unusable until fixed, which apparently there are no signs of that happening.

No Longer Works

With the new iOS update, the app doesn't work. I can't start the observation. Therefore, the app is useless. From what I have read, there may never be a fix. Don't waste your money.

Frustrated-- hasn't been updated since Oct

We're going on 4 months here.. Can we get an update so it will work on the new OS? Or at least an update on if it's ever going to be updated?

SOTO is a digital tool designed to help educators conduct 'On-Task / Off-Task' behavioral observations of students. It replaces traditional paper and pen methods with intuitive checkboxes for faster and more accurate data collection.

How does SOTO track student behavior?

SOTO uses simple checkboxes to indicate if a student is 'Academically or Passively Engaged' (On-Task) or 'Off-Task' during timed observation intervals. It can also record specific types of off-task behaviors like motor, verbal, or passive.

Can SOTO generate reports?

Yes, after an observation session, SOTO can quickly generate a report. This report includes calculated percentage statistics from your data, along with helpful graph and chart images for visual communication.

What are the benefits of using SOTO?

Key benefits include the ability to conduct observations anytime, anywhere without needing a clock or timer, eliminating paper and pencil fuss, and easily generating visual reports that can be emailed for inclusion in other reports.

Can I customize SOTO observations?

Yes, you can customize settings such as the duration of each observation interval, how often to record peer intervals for comparison, and whether to enable a vibrate notification before each new interval begins.

What devices does SOTO support?

SOTO is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices. It requires an iPhone for its specific vibrate notification capability.

How often is SOTO updated?

The latest version of SOTO is 1.2.4, and it was last updated on September 25, 2016. This indicates a less frequent update cycle.

Does SOTO have ads?

No, SOTO does not contain advertisements. It is a paid application that focuses on providing a clean and uninterrupted user experience for behavioral observation.
