About - Gobstopper

About - Gobstopper | Futuristic learning | Scoop.it

Reading at all levels is tough to teach. It is virtually impossible to assess students’ level of comprehension and engagement while they are completing a reading assignment. Students can’t “show” their work and teachers can’t get inside their students’ heads.

 

Gobstopper, a new online tool for Humanities teachers, revolutionizes how we give reading assignments and how students complete them. Gobstopper is an e-reading platform for schools that allows educators to put the questions and quizzes they would normally place in worksheets directly into the text. Teachers can make a quiz pop up at the end of the chapter that is automatically graded by Gobstopper.
