## Description

Capture the moment, set preliminary levels, and share children’s “Aha!” moments with their families directly from the MyTeachingStrategies® app!

With MyTeachingStrategies®, you can:

- Capture photos, videos, and text notes.

- Tag your capture with objectives, dimensions, and preliminary ratings.

- Share captured documentation with families while simultaneously uploading it to SmartTeach!

- Track attendance for children and staff.

- Create daily reports for record keeping and parent communication.

Security/Confidentiality

To maintain security and confidentiality, all documentation captured in the app remains within the app until sent to SmartTeach / Tadpoles®. Any photos or videos taken within the app will not mix with your personal camera roll. Files captured using the app cannot be sent anywhere other than to SmartTeach / Tadpoles®.

Who Can Use This App

This app is designed for use with the SmartTeach platform. This app is available for Teaching Strategies customers that have both a SmartTeach and a Tadpoles® account. Teaching Strategies customers using SmartTeach without Tadpoles® should use the new Teaching Strategies Teacher mobile app. Customers with only a Tadpoles® account should use the Childcare by Tadpoles® app.

About MyTeachingStrategies®
The Assess portion of MyTeachingStrategies® is powered by GOLD® and offers a streamlined, simplified way to conduct accurate, authentic, ongoing assessment of children’s development and learning from birth through third grade.

## Rankings

- #241,288 — Overall

## Review summary

User reviews repeatedly flag Gold account access and login/configuration problems, preventing use of Gold features; music playback/sound issues; and limited content access/download options (no bulk download, low-res images). A smaller number of reviews express overall app quality as good. Addressing Gold access, music behavior, and bulk/download workflow would address the most mentioned pain points.

### Pros

- Syncs quickly and generally works.
- The app is great overall.

### Cons

- Gold account access and login/configuration failures (e.g., 'not configured for Gold users', 'not set up yet', 'not fully set up').
- Music playback/sound issues (music turns off or cannot play during use).
- Content access/download limitations (no bulk download, must download images one by one, mentions of low-res images).
- Requests for more Gold features (needing checkpoints and cloud access that are not yet available).
