7 Essential Questions for Selecting

a Learning Platform

1. Implementation

Implementation is everything.

Selecting a tool that works with

your current system(s) ensures

no investment is lost, and your

teachers are free to choose what

works for them.

Fishtree sits within other LMS’s,

SIS’s and gradebooks, making it as

simple as possible to implement,

while providing educators with

choice and flexibility.

2. Training

Training is a big concern for

schools integrating

technology. It’s important to

ensure the system you

choose is user-friendly, and

teacher-focused.

Fishtree is careful not to disrupt a

school’s flow, with the ability to be up

and running within minutes. By

providing as much choice as possible,

it’s pedagogy first, technology second.

3. Personalization

K-12 schools everywhere are

looking for more personalization

solutions in an effort to scale 1:1

instruction at whole school level.

Adaptive learning platforms like

Fishtree ensure a 1:1 experience

for every student with personalized

resources, learning paths, and

support at all times.

4. Mobile Capability

Mobile learning is

revolutionizing teaching and

learning in the 21st century.

Whatever technology you

choose, mobility is a must.

Fishtree provides a cloud-

based, mobile system that

facilitates teaching and learning

from anywhere, at any time,

accessible on any device.

5. Flexibility

21st century education demands

flexibility in a landscape that is

constantly changing. With the

continuing rise of EdTech trends and

an emphasis on education reform,

schools need to be ready for change.

Fishtree makes it as simple as

possible to incorporate flipped,

blended and mobile learning

models, among others, with a

next generation system that

caters to reform.

6. Collaboration

The role of collaboration in

education is being emphasized

more than ever with the rise of

social media, project-based and

game-based learning.

Fishtree incorporates social media

for the most secure, collaborative

learning experience that includes

educators, students, parents and

administrators.

7. Analytics

K-12 schools are continuously

looking for technology that offers

better insights, and more control.

Learning analytics are changing the

way schools teach, engage

students, and track progress and

performance.

Fishtree provides key insights

into student progress in real-time,

along with a secure system that

keeps resources, data, and

curriculum in one place for easy

access, and better management.

“Overall, Fishtree is a great way

to help students learn as well as

a quick and easy tool for

teachers. The amount of time I

spend planning and student

achievement are always two

things I’m looking to improve.

Fishtree has allowed both.”
