Many of your students thought the mode was too confusing & frustrating. Thanks for being among the first to try it out. Thanks for reading, send us an email at you have any questions! It will sting a bit at first, but after, we’ll end up with a brand new version of assignments that will be miles better than what we have today. Making this switch is a bit like ripping off a band-aid. And hopefully, if it does, this advance notice will give you enough time to prepare. I’m sorry for any disruption this might cause - I’m hoping that by making this switch over summer break, it won’t impact most of you. Only assignments that you've created will be deleted. Your kits and all other content will remain exactly intact. On July 12th, we will fully delete all assignments on Gimkit, making way for the new version which will come out shortly after. Starting on July 1st, we will no longer allow the creation of new assignments. I made the decision that instead of sinking a ton of extra time into supporting what will be the old version of assignments, we’re going to fully remove it and start over. In terms of developers, it’s just myself and Jakub. But adding even more is having to support both types of assignments at once: the ones we have today, and the ones in the future that will take place in 2D game modes. Making 2D game modes work with assignments is going to be a huge technical challenge. But assignments don’t take place in a 2D game mode, meaning XP is not obtainable right now when completing homework.īecause of this, it makes sense for us to work on adding 2D game modes to assignments - and that’s what we plan to do. And our latest Cosmetics update allows students to earn XP in 2D game modes. Later this year, we’re going to be releasing a brand new version of assignments rebuilt from the ground up to work with 2D game modes.Įver since we first launched Fishtopia, one of the most popular requests has been to allow students to play Fishtopia for homework. Here’s to you and all you’ve overcome in another challenging school year. Thank you for all of your support and inspiration, this school year and every other.
You can see everything we added this school year here ! We also switched our development focus radically, focusing on student engagement improvements, starting with Fishtopia, our first 2D game mode and an introduction to a whole new world inside of Gimkit. Along the way, we made updates and improvements to Gimkit based on your feedback.įor the first half of this school year, we focused on making teacher-side improvements, including re-building KitCollab from the ground up. Thousands of schools and districts purchased licenses to cover their teachers.
This school year, millions of new teachers and students discovered Gimkit. Supporting what you do and how you do it is critical and we’re honored to be a small part of how you engage and elevate your students. With everything going on in the world, from a global pandemic to geopolitical tragedy, education is more important than ever. You help us improve with your feedback and support us with your memberships, of course.īut you also inspire us to be better, pushing us to develop tools that can match your creativity and ingenuity for teaching your students. And we’re not just talking about financial support or site visits.
