RethinkEd Vizzle is RethinkEd’s visual learning and special-education curriculum platform. It is intended primarily for students with autism and other significant learning needs who benefit from highly visual, scaffolded instruction, with special educators, related-service providers, paraprofessionals, students, and case managers using it to support academic, functional, social, communication, and individualized skill instruction.

Educators assign standards-aligned visual lessons and activities, adapt materials, collect performance information, and connect instruction to individualized goals. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM, formerly VMware AirWatch, is a unified endpoint management platform for enrolling, configuring, securing, and supporting devices across multiple operating systems. District technology teams can use it to apply policies, distribute applications and content, maintain inventory, and monitor whether endpoints meet organizational requirements.

The platform is designed for complex environments that need device management tied to identity, application access, and security controls. It supports both district-owned and personally owned deployment models and can combine endpoint compliance with other Workspace ONE services for access and digital-workspace workflows.

VoiceThread is an asynchronous multimedia discussion and presentation platform. Teachers or students assemble slides, images, documents, and video into a shared “VoiceThread,” then participants respond around individual slides using voice, video, text, drawing, or uploaded media.

The product supports discussion, reflection, language practice, feedback, and presentations when participants cannot meet at the same time. Districts should configure student identity, sharing, moderation, retention, captioning, LMS integration, family access, and age-appropriate publishing so media does not become unintentionally public.

Waterford Early Learning provides personalized early reading, math and science instruction for PreK–2 learners. School implementation includes digital learning activities and educator tools. Desktop and laptop access uses supported browsers; the Waterford Early Learning app is for supported iPad and Android tablets, not phones or desktop computers.

SolarWinds Web Help Desk is a web-based ticketing system for internal or external support requests. It creates and routes tickets from web and email channels, applies assignment and escalation rules, tracks communication and resolution, and provides knowledge-base and reporting tools.

The installed platform can associate tickets with assets and supports incident, problem, change, service-level, approval, and audit workflows. It remains a distinct SolarWinds product even though the company also offers the separate cloud-based SolarWinds Service Desk.

Welligent is the Los Angeles Unified School District’s web-based environment for creating and maintaining IEPs and documenting related health, behavioral-health, and special education services. LAUSD uses it to monitor plan timelines, service delivery, compliance, and records connected to students receiving district services.

The environment also supports service documentation and reimbursement workflows for eligible services. This catalog entry describes a district implementation rather than a generally purchasable product page, so the later cleanup should determine whether to retain it as a named local system, associate it with an underlying vendor platform, or represent it only through district-to-system history.

Words Their Way is Savvas’s developmental spelling, phonics, and vocabulary program. It is intended primarily for elementary and middle-grade readers and spellers, with students, teachers, reading specialists, and interventionists using it to support phonics, spelling patterns, vocabulary, morphology, and differentiated word study.

Educators use spelling inventories to group learners and assign word sorts, pattern study, vocabulary, and transfer activities. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Writing by Design / Grading by Design is a K–8 writing curriculum and related assessment/grading approach. It is designed primarily for elementary and middle-grade writers, with classroom teachers, instructional coaches, and students using it to support writing process, genres, conventions, revision, feedback, and common expectations.

Teachers use modeled lessons, shared language, rubrics, student practice, conferencing, and feedback to develop writing across genres. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

Xello is a K–12 college and career readiness platform that guides students from early self-discovery through career and postsecondary exploration, academic planning, work-based learning, and college applications. Students build a persistent profile of interests, skills, goals, experiences, portfolios, and plans while completing age-appropriate lessons and district-assigned readiness tasks.

Counselors and administrators use Xello to monitor completion, manage four-year plans, coordinate application documents, communicate with students, and report on district readiness requirements. The platform connects with SIS products, SSO and rostering services, Common App, Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, and other partners so planning work can use current student data and feed real application processes.

Microsoft Viva Engage, formerly Yammer, is an organization-wide community and employee-engagement platform within Microsoft 365. It supports communities, open conversations, announcements, questions, campaigns, events, leadership communication, knowledge sharing, and personalized activity feeds.

The Yammer brand has been retired, but the underlying product and customer networks continued as Viva Engage. Microsoft 365 identity, compliance, moderation, analytics, Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint connections support governed internal communities.

YouCanBookMe is a general scheduling service that turns connected calendar availability into public booking pages. District staff can use it for office hours, counseling, interviews, family meetings, training appointments, or other one-to-one scheduling needs.

The product automates confirmations, reminders, rescheduling, and calendar events but does not manage broader district projects or approvals. It belongs with Appointment Scheduling and requires the same district governance attention as Calendly.

YouScience Brightpath combines tools for aptitude and career discovery, industry certifications and work-based learning. Schools select the components that fit their college and career readiness programs. Aptitude and interest results can inform student pathway planning. The modules licensed and the way results are used vary by district.

Zendesk is a customer-service and support platform that collects requests from email, web forms, messaging, phone, and other configured channels into a shared agent workspace. School districts can use it for family, student, employee, departmental, or technology-support inquiries.

Ticket routing, macros, automation, service targets, knowledge bases, reporting, and integrations help teams respond consistently and maintain a history of each interaction. It is broader customer-service software rather than a K–12-specific IT operations platform.
