2 Overview At Swivl, our mission is to lift school achievement by expanding the focus of observations to students. Typical classroom observations tools aren t observant enough to be valuable to teachers. So, we built our own solution that enables teachers to record frequent video observations of not only themselves, but of their students, too. With the new Swivl+ app, you can record video from up to 5 devices at once to capture your entire classroom. After recording, we built an innovative interface for reviewing these Multi-Camera observations.

Deliver slides on 5 devices with content or instructions Keeps small groups focused and on task Play 5 videos at the same time from a single interface for advanced assessment Easy switching between video feeds
