    OMG I only recently found Zondle and all I can say is WOW!! I teach HS biology to at risk students. Using Zondle has added that extra spark they needed to prepare for our state test in 2 weeks. Some of my kids have even come during my planning period to play more games so they can be the Zondle dollar leader in their class. Unbelieveable. I now dream in Zondle!!!
    • Zondle - Thank you very much and naturally I (Dougi) am, delighted that you are enjoying zondle. Please do spread the word. Have fun, and just let me know if I can help further. You can also email me directly on doug.lapsley@zondle.com

    • Zondle - Thanks so much for your interest in zondle's Common Core campaign. High School is on our development schedule and probably will be available in early 2014. If there is anything that you feel you could contribute now, we would be most grateful. Though it won't go to create the High School content it will help us to get zondle to over 150,000 of the poorest children in the US.
      Thanks again.

    I have created a contest between my classes--whatever class earns the most zollars by May 31 will be rewarded with a pizza party. Some of my craftier students have created "cheat topics" in order to quickly and easily accumulate zollars. Is there any way that I can determine the source of earned zollars? I want to count only those zollars earned by topics I have set.

    Thank you!
    • Mrs. Mass - Oh, what a fun idea!

      • zondle - Hi Mrs.Rose. I do get asked this from time to time, but I'm afraid we don't currently record how the zollars were attained, just a cumulative total. So I'm afraid the answer at this stage is no there isn't a way to determine the topics being played. The only way you could do this would be to put your students into classView mode and only set them those topics that you want them to play. That would prevent them playing any other topics and so the zollars attained would have to be from those game plays. I assume you already know about being able to change more...

      • Mrs. Rose - Thank you! That actually is very helpful information--I appreciate it!

        • May 9, 2013
      • Zondle - You're very welcome. Please just let me know if you need more detail. If you come unstuck I can include images in responses via email doug.lapsley@zondle.com

        • May 9, 2013
    • Mr. Giotto - You can ferret out the cheat topics by viewing your students' topics, these topics can also be deleted by the teacher.

    Is there a way to find out when a student played a game/topic or their most recent topic/game played? I assigned a topic for homework and want to make sure that the students are not giving me the scores from an older assignment and not all of the scores are showing up in my student stream. Thanks!
    • Mr. Giotto - Hi Ms. Spears,
      Your Zondle Gradebook will show the statistics for each individual student and topic. Although, it does not show exactly when the student played the topic, it creates a chart showing each event: 1, 2, 3, and so on, and the score of each. The last score to the right is the most current score. The latest topic score and average topic score for each student by event is located above the progress graph. You find all of this data by clicking the desired topic column by student row. The score you see displayed for each student and topic, before you click it, is

      • zondle - That's correct yes thank you Mr. Giotto. You can go a little further than this too for any topic played by a student because you can see the dates and times that a topic was played and even each question that was answered and whether the question was correct or incorrectly answered. To get to this you click on the + symbol next to the student's name in the grade book to bring up the detailed progress window for that student. Then select any topic you like from the drop down at the top right of the page. Topics listed in there are ANY topics the student has played, more...

    Is it possible to get some student log-ins removed? I have several students who kept creating new log-ins instead of getting me to reset their password!
    • Zondle - Hi Ms. Williams. This is certainly possible. Either you can remove students by moving them to the recycle bin of if you send me a list of usernames (doug.lapsley@zondle.com) I can do this for you more permanently. Here is how to recycle zondles: http://www.zondle.com/ht.aspx?mi=26

    Question: I am working on a PD for Zondle to present in my district in June. If I want to use tutorials, videos, etc. from the Zondle site, do I have the rights to do that? If I can, what Creative Commons attribution would that be under?

    I am in a training now on using iTunes U Course Manager. I believe that there are two ways to publish a course in iTunes: just for people in my district (I believe there's a code or link to the course and the creator of the course, in this case me, has to approve), or available to the world. I'm just learning about this, so I don't want to use material that I don't have the rights to, or distribute in a way that would break copyright.

    Thanks, Lynnette

    • zondle - Hi Mrs. Johnson. Fear not, we're very chilled out about that kind of thing. Feel free to use any materials from the zondle site or any of our blogs etc liberally. If you just make it clear that they are from zondle so as to avoid confusion that would be great. The only time we get funny about zondle materials being used in the public domain is if they games are sold on, which is clearly not what you're doing here, so please feel free. I'd go further that that too. If you need any materials that are not readily available from the site, blogs, youtube etc more...

      • Mrs. Johnson - I thought of something I could use: YouTube links to videos tutorials (when I click on the video, it brings it up in a window; the share button is a link to the general support page--or am I doing something wrong?)

        • May 1, 2013
      • Zondle - You're very welcome. You'll find most of the videos are very out of date. I just realised what you're saying here though. I think this is just a bug that crept in when we did the new support system. I would recommend using the share link to schoolTube anyway. It's maybe less likely to get blocked in US schools.

        • May 1, 2013
      • Mrs. Johnson - I will do that.

    If you have a few moments, we would value your help in voting for us at SIIA for the "SIIA Innovation Incubator Educator's Choice Award". Ben did a presentation last night (link below). His bit starts at around 1:20:00
    The second link is the voting section. If you click through to the last page that is where zondle appears (because we chose a name starting with 'z').
    Thank you for your support!

    Ben from zondle will be presenting at the "SIIA Innovation Incubator Educator's Choice" today at 4:00PM – 5:30PM, ET. Pre-register free here to join the session. He should be on at around 5.15pm, but I recommend being early as registration takes a little time.

    Hi,
    I have just signed up for zondle and have a few questions:
    Can images be inserted into a quiz? As a maths teacher currently teaching 2D and 3D shape, I would find it very useful.
    My other question is just me wanting to compare the games to edmodo quizzes as I am slightly concerned about giving pupils too many websites to sign up to and I wanted to make sure it was worth it!
    Thanks
    • Mr. Giotto - Hi Mrs. Kellner,
      Zondle uses the term "topics," which you "set" for your classes.Students can interact with these topics by way of the various games available in Zondle. These topics differ from a standard quiz in that students are presented the questions they missed again, after they have gone through all of the questions. They will be presented these missed questions unitl the get them correct. The data you see in the gradebook reflects the amount of times the students have played the topics, their highest score, and the progess they have made on
