August Update! New Teacher Dashboard, Student Engagement, and MORE!

Hey there Boddle Friends!

We’ve got a ton of new features for teachers and students just in time for back-to-school. We can’t wait for you to join us and explore!

Teacher Dashboard:

We’ve made several updates to your Teacher Dashboard to make student management easier to navigate and utilize.

• When you first login, you’ll notice a chic new look for your classroom tiles. Upon clicking into one of your classrooms, you’ll see that your Dashboard has been reformatted to show you a wide range of student data such as: class placement, current assignments, and more!

• ELA content is here! You’ll now see a toggle for Math and English. Check out more on how to unlock our ELA content below.
• One of our favorite student monitoring features, the Live Feed, has become more streamlined and you can now see which students are online and offline on the same screen.
• You can now use a toggle to organize your students by first or last initial.

We’ve also added features and capabilities to the Placement Test.

• If your students have not yet completed the Placement Test, you’ll see “Placement Test In Progress” in the Reports tab next to their name.
• You also now have the option to allow students to retake the Placement Test. Just click on the refresh icon next to their name in the Reports section.
• When creating Assignments, you also get a pop-up notice if your students are still taking the Placement Test (Assignments pause the Placement Test until they are completed).

Unlock ELA:

It’s finally here! We’ve integrated Kindergarten and 1st grade English Language Arts standards into the Boddle environment your students already know and love.

• Teachers can unlock Kindergarten and 1st grade ELA content by referring three friends.
• More grade levels are coming soon!

Gameplay:

Your students will be so excited for the new gameplay features!

• The Arcade and Play buttons have been combined into one big game menu - check it out by clicking the green Play button. Plus, now you can battle friends from around the world using the Player Versus Player option. If you don’t match with a friend, don’t worry! Boddle’s AI will join as your opponent.
• Catch the wave in Pet Battles, where there’s a brand new map called “Sunny Surf” that will unlock after Green Grove is completed. Also, Pets now glow when special abilities are activated!

• There are tons of new items in the Boddle Shop such as the shark outfit, the narwhal outfit, and the exclusive Merfolk outfits! Plus, unlock variants of clothing/accessories by collecting copies.
• The Learning Progress screen now has a space of its own right on the Home screen.
• Earn more XP by completing daily and weekly Quests. Each type you completed a Quest, XP is added to your Boddle Pass.
• As you’re solving problems, you’ll likely come across some new question types as well!
