Pencil Spaces

Pencil is an all-in-one AI powered solution which supports every member of an education community. Pencil’s tools increase productivity for teachers, enable classroom insight for administrators, and improve adaptive and distributed learning experiences for students wherever they are.

Support for Teachers

Pencil provides an easy to use library for all of a school’s content. Instead of scanning and reproducing images of pages, Pencil’s digitization stores content in granular pieces down to the individual question level.

Paired with Pencil’s AI, granular content becomes highly searchable and customizable. Teachers can rapidly find the exact content they need, combine it into original sequences and assign it, turn it into print-outs or create presentations in a single click. Beyond productivity gains, Pencil’s AI also suggests content to help each student thrive individually based on over 1,000 data points. Teaching methods and assignments are suggested to teachers to make true adaptive learning fast and achievable.

Support for Administrators

Administrators and school leaders need clear, up-to-date information about how students are doing and what teachers are doing. When teachers and students work in Pencil, administrators can see individual or aggregate information for student performance by class, subject and more. They can see whether teachers are using easy or difficult assignments, whether there’s a gap in needed materials without waiting for a teacher to ask, or view teachers’ presentations and follow along with their assignment workflow.

Supports for Students

Above all, Pencil was built to make learning easier and more rewarding. Using thousands of data points Pencil builds a brain-model of each student. This allows Pencil to suggest individual teaching suggestions for each student, provides students with the perfect practice sessions for their knowledge level and, most importantly, allows Pencil to keep students engaged by suggesting questions which appeal to their interests and motivations.

Support at Home

Pencil is built to support every partner in learning - including adults at home. Through integrated content Pencil enables Professional Development providers and teachers to attach “how to teach” content to questions and texts assigned to students. This way, adults are able to help children learn at home in ways that support how they are learning in school. In addition, the Pencil AI intelligently categorizes and fetches content from around the internet to supplement content in Pencil and provide explanatory resources. Finally, with Pencil’s knowledge of each student’s educational needs, it provides adults with everything they need to understand their child’s learning style and to confidently assign practice work from the Pencil library.
