So much more than a digital free play choice board

Plan your (themed) week, differentiate your activities, record your observations, evaluate the learning goals, and adjust based on powerful insights.
Everything in one handy app, tailored to teachers in preschool and primary education.

The top features

Simple planning

A schedule tailored to preschool teachers. No hassle. Just quickly and easily schedule lessons and activities, with a short description or full lesson plan, whatever you prefer.

Digital choice board

Choice activities scheduled in the agenda? The digital choice board is automatically prepared. Simple and fun for pupils, with automatic registration of their time spent per activity.

Pupil feedback

How did the pupil feel about an activity? We simply ask via the choice board afterwards. This allows you to respond quickly to situations that may require attention.

Observations and evaluations

During an activity, quickly record an observation or evaluation, in text or image. Or why not, let the pupils record their work on photo themselves. During the parent-teacher meeting you can easily browse through all observations.

Reflection board

With the Reflection Board you can look back on the day together with the pupils. What did they like? What was difficult? Who has divided their time neatly?

Valuable insights

Time spent, social interaction, or progress around certain goals. Never before have you obtained so many objective and valuable insights effortlessly.

Your own symbols

Supplement the extensive range of free symbols with your own symbol libraries, whether or not shared across all classes.

Works on any device

Smart Symbols is available on any type of device: laptop, digital board, tablet, and smartphone.

“My weekplan and the free play choice board are seamlessly intergrated which is fantastic to work with. I can now perfectly see how the pupils divide their time between the different activities, and who they play with. This allows me to better assess how they fit into the group and how they feel.”

Lotte, teacher 5-6 year olds
Elementary School 'Sint-Jan Ledegem'

“I use Smart Symbols intensively in my class. After just a few days I already noticed that the children are less likely to flutter, that there is more peace in the classroom, and that the children are more motivated to start an activity.”

Shelsy, teacher 5-6 year olds
Elementary School 'Het Groene Dal'

“It results in more peace in the classroom. The children no longer end up with too many in the play areas. All other systems are no longer necessary and that's a great convenience! I use the Smart Symbols insights to see if friendships are already emerging.”

Jessica, teacher 2-4 year olds
BS De Driesprong

“I am really super enthusiastic! Smart Symbols makes the work easier. All data is connected. Now I open Smart Symbols during the parent-teacher meetings and I notice that the conversation is much more focused on the child itself.”

Ellen, teacher 4-5 year olds
SGR20 - BSGO Centrum Geraardsbergen

Sounds good?
