It’s a teachers dream! It couldn’t be any easier to facilitate a lesson! Implementation and high quality documentation in seconds. The feature that projects pics and comments is just icing on the meaningful feedback cake! It literally keeps getting better because they are constantly improving it.

Great Teaching Resource

Found out about StartSole and the app at a Professional Development day and ran a SOLE in my class 2 days later. What a fantastic strategy to get students directing learning in the classroom and the app walked me through the whole process, even through facilitation and reflection. Do yourself and your students a favor -- facilitate SOLE learning in your classroom with StartSOLE.
