Edji: Classroom reading with live annotation

Edji gives teachers the power to engage each student while seeing student’s thoughts live. Create a reading or use one created by another teacher, and your students can join instantly with a simple reading group code. Watch the reading come to life as highlights overlap, and connections are made. K12 and beyond, keep reading!

Hey @corbfon & @cdypmpr, What made you want to build this app? And what's aspect are you most proud of?

@corbfon @jacqvon Hello Jacqueline! One of our team members is a 5th grade teacher who had tried many different apps for conducting classroom readings. Google Docs and Notability were the two he generally gravitated towards, but they left much to be desired. He also noticed students trying to leave comments with emoji which led to great classroom discussions—but it was difficult to do. Edji makes it simpler to have a class read across various types of devices, have fun with discussion tools like emoji, and visually aggregate all highlights and comments at once for assessing and sharing during the class. I'm personally most proud of seeing how much fun a classroom of kids can have with it! A tool that both teachers and students get excited about is win-win 🏆

Keep on reading!

Pros:

Edji makes reading in the classroom interactive and more fun! The collaboration is great.

Cons:

I'd like to see more in the way of collaboration and sharing with teachers in a district.
