Educator-led by design
The educator supplies the observation, chooses the curriculum mode and settings, reviews the output, edits wording, and decides what is accurate enough to share.
FAQ
Questions educators ask before using StoryLoop.
StoryLoop is built as an educator support tool, not a replacement for teacher thinking. These answers explain how it works and where educator judgement remains central.
Flexible across NZ and Australia
Use New Zealand mode for Te Whāriki or Australian mode for EYLF. Settings can be changed per story or saved as defaults.
Voice notes and typed notes both work
Live microphone recording is available in supported browsers. If it is blocked or unavailable, the app keeps the typing and audio-upload fallback visible.
