Monthly Update - May 2020

First, I want to congratulate the graduating class of 2020!

Every graduating senior deserves all of the credit and praise the classes before them received. I'm happy to see national celebrations and events honoring this year's graduating class and I'm proud of each graduate. If you or someone you know is graduating high school this year, here's to you/them! 🎓

Second, I'd like to take a moment to tip my cap to every educator, student, and parent.

It's been a school year unlike any other in my lifetime and I may never see another like it. As schools across the country break for summer, I wanted to acknowledge the wild school year and the incredible job educators and students and parents have done riding it out together. You all are an inspiration to us. Here's to a much-deserved summer break! ☀️

Last, but not least, and the initial reason I started typing this post, I wanted to let you know what we've been up to in the past month. Since our last update, we've been:

• Adding in updates to Assignments and Classes to improve ease of use from a distance

• Helping educators effectively use Assignments and Live Games remotely

• Assisting educators, schools, and districts with their Gimkit access as they navigate school closures, changes to instruction, and more

• Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with access to every Game Mode! 🥳

• Working on a new product, Ink, which we announced May 12th

• Building a new version of Assignments that's better designed for distance learning
