Your community todayShortShock Crew
Step 1. Create a crew and invite students
Create a crew for each cohort, then approve join requests or invite students directly by email.
Step 2. Set seasons and weekly missions
Your curriculum period becomes a season, and the number of Reels and feed posts to publish each week becomes a mission.
Step 3. Student verification
Students pick content from their connected account to verify, and views and engagement are recorded along with it.
Step 4. My season record and verification calendar
Students check their own crew rank, streak, and this week's mission progress.
Step 5. Team battles and individual rankings
The overall score reflects views, engagement, and posting frequency, and team battles are decided by each team's average. If one member sits out, the team average drops.
Step 6. Performance report
Cumulative season views, each student's standing in the crew, and weekly growth charts go straight into your end-of-cohort report.
Step 7. Board and comment feedback
Members comment on verification posts and shared references, and tag each other with @.
We also help them create
the content they'll post
Six tools that connect in one app, from looking back to tracking stats. Your students get them at a discount.
