👋 Welcome Back!
We hope you had a wonderful, relaxing summer.
We're excited to share some big updates to help you make learning fun & engaging this year. Watch the video below or keep reading to see what's new!
Assignments go 2D 🙌
We rebuilt assignments from the ground up! You can now assign 2D game modes as homework, making assignments more dynamic and engaging.
There's a lot that's different with the new version of assignments. Read about everything we changed here.
Answer Review 🧐
Over the summer, we added our most-requested product suggestion of all time. Now, your students automatically see the correct answer for 3 seconds when they miss a question. This improves content mastery by slowing them down and giving them some time to soak in the correct answer.
We’re growing a new mode… 🌱
We’re working on a new game mode we think your students will dig. We’re not ready to say too much yet. Just planting a seed to see if any ideas sprout up…
From new assignments to new modes, we can't wait to see what you do with Gimkit this school year!
