Sphero Edu vs Parent Digest

Sphero Edu is your hub to create, contribute, and learn with Sphero robots. Go beyond code by incorporating unique STEAM lessons to complete with your bot. Designed for learner progression, Sphero Edu beginners can give robots commands by drawing a path in the app for their robot to follow. Intermediate coders can use Scratch blocks to learn more advanced logic, while pros can use text programming and write their own JavaScript or Python code. Sphero Edu is built for makers, learners, educators, and parents. The interactive platform allows you to keep track of your class or group from one easy place. Anyone can save their progress, jump from device to device, and continue the discovery from anywhere. Preparing for the future has never been so fun. SPHERO EDU FEATURES PROGRAMS: Program your bots in 3 ways with Draw, Block, and Text modes. Start with the basics and grow. SENSOR DATA: See location, accelerometer, gyroscope, velocity, and distance sensor data through visual graphs. LESSONS: Program a painting. Navigate a maze. Mimic the solar system. The only limit is your imagination. TAKE A DRIVE: Need a brain break? Set LED colors on your robot and zoom around in Drive mode. ASSIGNMENTS: Are you a teacher?

Parent Digest shows what changed in your school's Veracross parent portal at a glance, without clicking through every class. • Action items: new attendance entries, changed due dates, and class posts or school messages that mention deadlines ("waiver needed by Thursday", "RSVP by Friday"). • A feed for each child: new, changed and removed assignments (with before → after), teacher feedback shown word for word, attendance, class posts and school messages. • What's due in the next few days. • "Mark all as seen", so next time you only see what's new. Parent Digest is a Safari extension. Turn it on in Safari, log in to your school's Veracross parent portal as usual, then open Parent Digest from Safari's page menu (iPhone and iPad) or toolbar (Mac) and tap Refresh. Want to look first? Tap "Try it with sample data". Private by design: • Uses the login you already have in Safari. It never asks for, sees or stores your password. • Everything stays on your device. No account, no server, no analytics, no tracking. • Only talks to your school's Veracross portal. Parent Digest is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Veracross. It reads the parent portal the same way Safari does, so a change to the portal can break it until the app is updated.
