How does Goblins work?

Three simple steps: (1) Share an assignment from thousands of standards-aligned topics using a share code. (2) Students speak and draw their thinking naturally, and Goblins responds with Socratic questioning that sounds just like their teacher. (3) Teachers get real-time formative insights showing what students struggle with and suggestions to inform instruction.

Does Goblins prevent cheating?

Can I use my own voice with Goblins?

Yes. Teachers can record their voice and take a selfie to create a custom 3D avatar in about 30 seconds. Students then hear help in their own teacher's voice and see a familiar face, making the experience more personal and effective.

What math levels does Goblins cover?

Goblins covers math from Grade 5 through AP Calculus, including thousands of standards-aligned topics. Teachers can also upload their own content for custom assignments at any level.

Is Goblins FERPA compliant?

Yes. Goblins is FERPA and state compliant. Student data privacy and security are a top priority.

Does Goblins support English Language Learners?
