Using Snorkl Insights to Identify Trends and Misconceptions

Learn how to use Snorkl Insights to quickly identify student trends, strengths, and misconceptions to guide instruction.

Updated this week

The Insights tab is automatically generated for every activity in Snorkl. It gives teachers a clear picture of how students are thinking in the class — highlighting both what they understand and where misconceptions may exist.


How to Access the Insights Tab

  1. From your Classes page, select the class you’d like to view.

  2. Click on the activity you want to review.

  3. You’ll automatically land on the Responses tab.

  4. From the toolbar near the top left, click on Insights (next to “Responses”).

This will open the Insights view, where you’ll see performance trends, top exemplars, and groups of students organized by understanding or misconception.

How It Works

  • Snorkl analyzes each student’s best response (their strongest and most complete attempt).

  • Students with a thorough, correct explanation appear at the top — with three exemplar responses automatically highlighted for easy review or sharing.

  • You can click directly into any response to listen, read, or view the whiteboard.


Grouping by Misconceptions

Snorkl automatically groups students into clusters based on shared misconceptions or similar response patterns.

This allows you to quickly:

  • Identify concepts that need reteaching.

  • Form small groups for targeted intervention or enrichment.

  • Spot common errors to address in whole-class discussions.


Show Exemplars Anonymously

If you’d like to show student work to the class:

  1. Go to the Responses tab for the activity.

  2. Click the Filter icon (top center).

  3. Toggle off “Show Student Names” — names will be hidden, and students will see anonymous exemplars.

This is a great way to model strong explanations and discuss reasoning — without attaching names.


Why It Matters

Snorkl’s Insights view helps you:

  • 📊 See real-time trends in student thinking.

  • 🎯 Target instruction efficiently.

  • 💬 Highlight strong reasoning as a model for others.

  • 🔍 Identify and address misconceptions early.
