Snorkl
Snorkl is a learning platform designed to make student thinking visible. Students explain their thinking by speaking, drawing, or writing, then receive immediate, personalized feedback from AI. They can use that feedback to try again, improve their response, and deepen their understanding.
What makes Snorkl special is what this looks like in the classroom: students are actively talking, explaining, and showing their thinking—not just submitting answers. Teachers can see how students arrived at an answer, identify strengths and misconceptions, and use those insights to guide instruction.
Snorkl works across subjects and grade levels and supports 65+ languages. Teachers can choose from a library of standards-aligned activities or create their own to align directly with their curriculum. Snorkl gives every student more opportunities to engage, reflect, and improve.
What sets Snorkl apart?
When you walk into a classroom where students are Snorkling, you see 30 students talking, explaining their thinking, and engaging in real metacognitive work. Snorkl centers student reasoning—students speak, write, and draw their ideas first, and the AI responds to their thinking rather than doing the work for them.
Snorkl also gives teachers real-time insight into student strategies, strengths, and misconceptions at a scale that isn’t possible through traditional tools. By focusing on thinking instead of answers, Snorkl amplifies student voice and supports more equitable learning.
How does Snorkl support educators and center learners?
Snorkl helps teachers focus on the process, not just the final answer. When students record and explain their thinking, teachers see how they approach problems, what language they use, and where misconceptions arise.
This visibility allows teachers to celebrate student ideas, tailor instruction, and respond to each learner in real time. By elevating student reasoning and giving teachers actionable insights, Snorkl supports classrooms where students lead with their thinking and learning becomes more student-centered.
Student Reasoning Supports Proficiency
Snorkl in the Field
Snorkl is being used in districts as diverse as Barrington and Stevenson in Illinois, North East Independent School District (NEISD) in San Antonio, and Jackson Public Schools in Jackson, Mississippi.
These communities vary widely in size, resources, and student needs, yet teachers in each have seen growth in math, science, ELA, and English language proficiency as students explain their reasoning more clearly. Students who once hesitated to participate now record detailed explanations of their thinking, building confidence and ownership of learning.
