As hinted at, Pockettales has been thinking up some great additions to the Pockettales site to include more functionality and tools for teachers. As you can see below, we are putting the finishing touches on a new teacher’s dashboard. 

While our vision is to make Pockettales a great way for students to share and be introduced to great books, we also feel that there is a great opportunity to get real-time data into the hands of teachers to help them make better decisions in planning, maintaining and adjusting their reading programs to be more individualized to the needs of their students. 

On the dashboard, you can see several areas to allow teachers to manage what is happening as students use Pockettales. You can use the dashboard to

• track daily, weekly, all time usage and statistics, 
• see daily newsfeeds of what is happening as your students use the site, 
• see the reading levels of books your students are reading either individually or as a class. 
• quickly see the most popular books being read
• Quickly filter data
• And much more!

This is a really exciting part of the Pockettales site and one that we think will be very popular with teachers.

What do you think? What do you like about the new teacher dashboard? Is there anything you would like to see?
