Introducing the Tree, a new feature from Tassomai
Watch a learner’s tree grow over time, and use it to identify and discuss topics they’ve understood and those they need help with.
The Tree will initially only be accessible from Tassomai's parent dashboard, where a new tab has been added.
All private subscribing parents will have access to the Tree.
“School parents”, i.e. those whose children get Tassomai via their schools, will only have access to the parent dashboard if they have been set up by their school to receive our weekly parent report emails. If you receive our parent report emails but you haven’t set up a password for your dashboard yet, simply click on the “forgot your password” link and request one using the same email address that your parent reports are sent to. Please note not all schools using Tassomai have set up parent reports.
Log in to the parent dashboard at http://www.tassomai.com/login
We hope to make the Tree accessible via the student and teacher dashboards later in the year.
Exploring the Tree:
Every learner has a separate tree for each subject they’re studying on Tassomai. Every topic within that subject relates to a branch of their tree, and each sub-topic (or theme) is represented by a twig.
Each leaf on the Tree represents a Tassomai question the learner has attempted, and the colour indicates whether they’re answering that question correctly or not. The greener the leaf, the better they’re doing. Clicking on a leaf displays a quiz question; click on the red or orange leaves to see the Tassomai questions a learner is struggling with.
N.B. The Tree is best viewed on your desktop, not your mobile.
Cultivating an environment for learning:
Our aim with the Tree is to help parents engage in their child's learning, to inspire conversations and to encourage an awareness and appreciation amongst learners of their own abilities. Observing the Tree grow stimulates metacognition in children - the process of “thinking about one’s own thinking” - as well as demonstrating the growth of their own knowledge and boosting confidence.
