This article explains how to fill out the Weekly Observation forms in the iBlum app for Educators.
- Go to the Program section of the app.
- Select the room that the child is enrolled in.
- Select the child's name from the list, and open the WEEKLY tab.
- There are 5 skills (one for each domain) recommended for each learner every week. Select one of the skills to open the form for that skill.
- To learn about the skill and what indicators to look for, tap on the
button to watch a short explanatory video. - Indicate if you have observed the learner demonstrating this skill. If you are not sure or have not observed this skill, this skill will appear as a recommendation for the learner again in the future.
- Upload photo(s) to accompany this skill (optional).
- If needed, make an action plan for the learner to develop this skill and note any additional comments. The action plan and additional comments will not be shown to parents.

Did you know? Observations are used by iBlum to generate Insights and recommendations for each learner and program/cohort. To learn more about Insights, read our Teacher's Insights Guide.
Publishing this will share this learning observation with parents of the child. It will also be saved in the child's Daily Diary and portfolio, and included the Reports you'll receive at the end of every week.
Also please let us know if you thought this indicator was appropriate for the child, if it was too basic or advanced, or if it was difficult to understand. It will help us refine our platform to better suit educators like yourself and your learners!
