  • Decent documentation resource

    I like that I can sign in and take photos/videos/notes of my kids throughout the day. I do like that I can add objectives and levels at the same time I take the photo/video/writing documentation. The app does log me out when the app closes though. It’d be helpful if this app allowed us to upload our own photos we take from our camera roll. Sometimes we can’t capture the moments quick enough because we are signed out of the app.

  • Useful but needs improvement

    While this app does allow me to enter pieces of documentation and assign preliminary levels, it has several flaws in my opinion. First, there is no way to adjust the date of the documentation to a date other than the current one, so I cannot accurately enter older notes. Second, the app can only access the camera and microphone, NOT the photo library. Totally useless for my purposes of trying to attach photos I already have. It is designed to capture things only in the moment they are happening, which is absolutely unrealistic for me; I use devices to do “teacher work” during naptime only, NOT while being present and attentive with the children in my care.

    The app is fine, but WHY can’t we add photos from our devices???? It’s so much easier to take pictures and videos and then add them to the app. WHY CAN’T WE DO THAT
  • Great Assessment Tool

    Teaching strategies is a great tool to rate students as well as guide my teaching practices. It makes teaching students much more effective and helps parents understand more in depth to where their children are and where they are going.
  • Could be easier to use

    The app logs you out, it doesn’t allow you to sign in quickly therefore missing many opportunities to get authentic documentation. There should also be option to upload photos from your device to document. My phone is quicker to take photos than opening, singing in and taking photos. This is a missed opportunity.
  • Embarrassing

    I’ve been using gold and teaching strategy for years. At this point it is so embarrassing that the app has not improved. The app should look like and should function just like the website. It should be easy and should have as many features as the website. I downloaded the newest version of the app and it has not improved at all. When I start a new observation, I still cannot attach pictures and videos from my camera storage on the phone. I still don’t trust the system to take the picture and store them in the app until I use them for the observation/ anecdotes. ( Bad experiences) Plus I use those pictures for other things, therefore I need them on my Camera storage. The app doesn’t give me the option to download the pictures from the app later. many districts (including mine) are paying for creative curriculum, so the company should put more effort to have the app user-friendly and quick functioning. Even on the website, it takes very long time to upload videos ( 30 seconds videos). I am disappointed.
  • Photo uploads

    I would like to see an update in being able to use photos from your photo gallery on your phone or iPad to include with the app. Sometimes observation opportunities pop up when the app is not open and I snap the photo and I have to upload those photos to my computer in order to add them to TSG.
  • Not convenient

    By Melly Mel8908
    I thought this app would be a bit more convenient to use. This only allows for on the spot pictures or videos. However it doesn’t allow you to upload from your device. I would’ve loved for this app to have that option. However after downloading again after 3 years there’s still no improvement.
  • Horrible

    Every time I use the app it seems there are issues. Now the app won’t let me attach one kid to the notes. So if he is in the group note I have to wait and add him from the website. Waste of my time. And I called yesterday and the guys solution was to get another device and take pics of my notes then upload from that device. Really??? That’s the best he can offer??? How is that possible??? How about figure out why I can’t use the app for one of my kids??? It’s a pain.
