TreeRing is a cloud yearbook creation, collaboration, sales, and printing platform for schools. Students and advisers design pages online, manage photos and layouts, collaborate on sections, collect orders, and submit the finished book for production without maintaining local desktop publishing software.

The service is highly specialized but mature rather than emerging. It belongs in Yearbook / Student Media or Student Activities, with district guidance for student images, publishing permissions, payments, account ownership, content review, and long-term access to project files.

True Progress is the student-success assessment system formerly called Track My Progress. It is intended primarily for elementary and middle-grade learners taking periodic adaptive assessments, with students, teachers, intervention teams, school leaders, and administrators using it to support screening, diagnostic assessment, growth monitoring, instructional grouping, and program evaluation.

Students take brief adaptive mathematics and ELA assessments while educators review scale, domain, growth, and intervention information. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Tyler Absence & Substitute, formerly ReadySub, is a cloud-based K–12 system for employee leave requests, absence tracking, and substitute placement. Staff submit time-off requests, administrators apply approval and assignment rules, and qualified substitutes can review openings, manage availability, and accept work from web or mobile devices.

The platform reduces manual calls and spreadsheets by combining absence records, substitute pools, job notifications, schedules, approvals, and payroll-preparation data. ReadySub joined Tyler Technologies in 2021 and the product was renamed Absence & Substitute, so the catalog should retain the former name only as a search and migration reference.

Tynker is a coding curriculum and creative programming platform for schools. It is intended primarily for elementary through high-school learners developing coding and computational-thinking skills, with students, classroom teachers, computer-science staff, library/media staff, and families using it to support block and text coding, game design, robotics, web development, and computational thinking.

Students progress from block-based coding to languages such as JavaScript or Python through lessons, puzzles, projects, games, and teacher assignments. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Virtual Job Shadow is the former name of Pathful Explore, the career-exploration component of Pathful's career-readiness platform. It helps students connect interests, values, skills, personality, and lifestyle preferences with career possibilities, then learn about those occupations through profiles, labor-market data, interviews, and job-shadow videos featuring working professionals.

Pathful has expanded beyond its original video library into a broader set of planning, employability, work-based learning, and program-management tools. Districts can use the platform to organize career-readiness activities, course and postsecondary plans, local opportunities, student artifacts, and compliance reporting while integrating SIS, rostering, and SSO services.

Visitu is a K–12 campus-safety and front-office platform with visitor management, attendance-related workflows, emergency communication, and related school operations. Its visitor module can scan identification, capture photos, check configured offender databases, print badges, notify employees, maintain watch lists, and show who is on campus.

Districts should document which Visitu modules are licensed and how visitor, student, staff, and emergency records connect. The existing Clever roster and SSO values should remain unchanged during this pass while future connector work verifies the actual direction, frequency, identifiers, and scope of each integration.

VIZOR for Chromebooks is a K–12 device and asset-management platform that combines Chromebook data from Google Admin Console with student, staff, location, assignment, repair, warranty, and financial information. It helps districts replace disconnected spreadsheets with a current view of what devices they own, where each device is, who has it, and what condition or lifecycle state it is in.

Schools use VIZOR to distribute and return devices with barcode workflows, manage loaners and swaps, track repairs and charges, identify lost or overdue Chromebooks, automate family notifications, and perform selected Google Admin actions in bulk. The platform can also manage other district IT assets and add service-desk ticketing, depending on the edition.

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.

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.
