Gameplan

GamePlan

The only classroom you need.

Current online solutions for elementary level, lack a focus on education all-in-one place, deprive students of valuable social interactions and collaborative learning opportunities, and shift a home teacher role onto unprepared and busy parents.

GamePlan is an online learning environment that places the entire classroom experience in one place and streamlines communication through contextual messaging between parents, teachers, and students. It engages students through gamified lessons and collaborative learning which encourages social interaction and fun.

Teacher Interface

Teachers utilize a comprehensive classroom management platform with robust grading and tracking capabilities. The system allows flexible grading options, including percentages, letter grades, and completion tracking. Educators can grade assignments directly within the platform, with the ability to view both class-wide and individual student performance.

The platform offers detailed attendance tracking by week and month, and supports management of multiple classrooms. Teachers can create and share student agendas with parents and students, including integration of Zoom links. An integrated messaging system facilitates easy communication within the educational ecosystem.

Key features include flexible grading tools, comprehensive performance tracking, multi-class management, and seamless communication capabilities.

Parent Interface

Parents engage with a comprehensive educational platform featuring a robust Assignment section. They can view detailed assignment information, access teacher comments on graded work, and explore lesson summary sheets. The interface supports multiple student profiles, allowing parents to toggle between children's accounts easily.

Parents can track their child's progress by subject and share progress reports with teachers, spouses, and other stakeholders. The platform enables direct communication between parents, students, and teachers during learning activities. A unique screen-sharing feature allows parents to view their child's screen, provide assistance, and even remotely troubleshoot technical issues when needed.

Key features include comprehensive progress tracking, seamless communication tools, and interactive parent-student-teacher engagement capabilities.

Student Interface

Students interact with an immersive educational game interface featuring multiple interactive rooms. The Level Room allows students to complete daily assignments through diverse activities like video lessons, graded tasks, and collaborative review games. The Portal Room offers additional educational games where students can continue practicing concepts while earning XP and coins.

Students customize their characters and personal huts using rewards earned through gameplay. The character overview provides a visual representation of lesson progress, displaying earned XP, coins, and allowing outfit customizations. The platform's gamification approach enhances learning by improving communication skills and making educational content more engaging and interactive.

Key features include a daily schedule accessible to students, a help button for quick assistance, and a progression system that motivates learning through rewards and personalization.
