What it is
Amplify Classroom is a web teaching platform for K–12 math, literacy, and science, with more than 1,000 free interactive lessons. Its teacher dashboard shows student responses and thinking in real time. Teachers can pause a lesson or move every student screen forward together, and select and sequence student work for anonymous class discussion. They can copy and edit existing lessons or create new ones with a drag-and-drop builder. Class tools support multiple classes, co-teachers, and roster organization. The free account provides teaching tools and lessons without a district license or subscription. Integrations include Google sign-in, Google Classroom roster imports, and Clever rostering for Amplify customers; Amplify also lists connections with Canvas, ClassLink, D2L, SchoolDay, Safari Montage, and Schoology. The platform is designed to facilitate compliance with student-data privacy laws. Amplify encrypts student data in transit and at rest, and its information-security program uses NIST frameworks and controls. Annual SOC 2 Type 2 examinations cover relevant security controls. Some Amplify Desmos Math and Amplify CKLA content requires a school or district subscription.
