Bloomboard





BloomBoard simplifies educator evaluations. It allows users to securely create, schedule, and manage teaching evaluations. BloomBoard can be used for informal observations, formal observations, and video observations; it can also be a place to store and share processes and lesson plans. BloomBoard allows for state-of-the-art, personalized instructor feedback. It allows an evaluator to see the lesson plan, make notes on it, and make note of what’s actually happening in the classroom during each segment of the lesson plan. Best of all, BloomBoard is free to educators.
