Click "Start Counting" and you'll have a live classroom participation counting session in under 30 seconds. No account required — just open your browser on any device and begin tracking participation opportunities, equitable cold call responses, wait time violations immediately.

Count Together in Real Time
Every tap syncs instantly across all connected devices. Educators and Instructional Coaches can count simultaneously from different locations while the totals update live. When you're done, export your participation opportunities data to CSV or Excel for reporting and analysis.
The Problem & The Solution
The Hidden Costs of Manual Seating Charts and Tick Marks
Instructional rounds demand verifiable data, but your current system is subjective and prone to error. If an instructional coach or co-teacher is observing, their checkmarks rarely align perfectly with yours. The physical chart gets crumpled, lost, or requires hours of manual tallying just to see if your low-participation students are meeting their engagement goals for the week. This is administrative burden disguised as assessment.
⚠️Stop relying on seating charts and checkmarks and manual counting methods.
SnapCount: The Modern Standard for Instructional Data Collection
By leveraging instant synchronization, you gain immediate visibility into "Participation Distribution." You can see the aggregate data live, allowing you to pivot mid-lesson. If Student A has 5 responses and Student Z has 0, the visual imbalance prompts an immediate correction, fostering better equity in your cold calling strategy. It transitions participation tracking from a stressful, retrospective chore into a powerful, real-time formative assessment tool.

How Educators and Instructional Coaches Use SnapCount for Classroom Participation
Educators and Instructional Coaches across the classroom participation industry rely on accurate, real-time counting to make informed decisions. Whether you're tracking participation opportunities, equitable cold call responses, wait time violations, or managing counts across multiple locations, SnapCount replaces fragmented manual processes with a single collaborative tool. Instead of passing clipboards, shouting numbers, or reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the day, your entire team counts into one shared session that updates instantly.
Traditional methods like seating charts and checkmarks break down when multiple people need to count at the same time, when counts need to be visible across locations, or when you need a historical record of your data. SnapCount solves all three problems: multiple educators and instructional coaches can tap simultaneously on their own phones or tablets, the running total is visible to everyone in real time, and every count is logged with a timestamp for later review or CSV export.
Getting started takes less than a minute. Create a free session, name your counters to match your classroom participation workflow, and share the link with anyone who needs access. There's nothing to download, no accounts to create for viewers, and the interface works on any device with a web browser. For educators and instructional coaches who need persistent data, team management, or advanced analytics, paid plans unlock additional features while keeping the same simple counting experience.
