Teachers in Texas’ Coppell Independent School District, located in the suburbs of Dallas, are getting a holistic view of their students' progress courtesy of an IBM MobileFirst for iOS application. The programme, called Watson Element for Educators, lets teachers access data on any student, including test scores, disciplinary actions and learning preferences. All information logged in the app has been recorded by fellow teachers. “Students have to be able to see what is happening with them as they go through school,” says principal John McMahon.
