Is there anyway to restrict students from copying topics you have created? Some of my students have discovered they can do this and then have the answers open in another tab while completing the games. Surely it's less effort and greater benefit to just do the quiz but that's not how teenagers think!- Yesterday

I can not believe how motivated my students are by the zollars. I just checked and 5 students have been logged on for the last 2 hours playing the games I've set, just to try to beat each other in zollars. I need to add, one of the students playing has NEVER done any work in class before, normally will sit there and shout out inappropriate things at random, and yet, here he is, on a Friday night, working away! AMAZING!- Yesterday
-
Ms. Dorie - I can say the same for some of the other digital apps and games via edmodo - I overheard a student say today, "I am so glad Ms. ** taught us edmodo, because I can get so much done when I can really think - like after dinner. " I realized that although I am, and have always been an early bird - who uses her brain power from 5a - 5p ... most of my students, and even my own siblings - don't start getting brain power until noon and can go to midnight - but school's already out.

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!!!- May 16, 2013

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.- May 17, 2013

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!- May 9, 2013

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 student zollar amounts:

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!- May 8, 2013

Mr. Giotto - Hi Ms. Spears,
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 the highest score achieved for each topic by that student.
I hope that this was helpful,
Mr. Giotto

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, regardless of whether they are currently set to the student. If you now scroll down the page you'll see "exactly what happened and when" which lists the dates and times that the topic was played by that student. Click on one of those and you'll see each question response within the game play. I hope this helps and thank you as always for using zondle :)

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!
- May 6, 2013

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.

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 just let me know and I will see what I can do to help create them for you. As a start point here is a link to some basic resources such as logos, characters etc. http://www.zondle.com/ht.aspx?mi=41

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.

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').

Ms. Williams - Have found the setting that only enables them to see topics I have set - will this stop them copying topics?
Zondle - Hi. Sorry for the slow reply. Kids swimming etc. Yes, that setting you have found will mean that they play in classView which restricts copying, along with just about all other features. I hope this solves this for you. We are part way through coding teacher controls which will give much more granular control over the zondle experience. I'm afraid there is no ETA for this at the moment though. Thank you for your patience :)
Ms. Williams - Thanks!
