eylog: Making observations
Let’s look at how to create observations on the eylog practitioner app. You can use observations to track how a child is progressing in their development. This includes the option to add an assessment, which allows you to evaluate that child according to your chosen framework.
- Log in as a practitioner to see the list of children you have access to.
- Tap a child’s picture to select them.
- Tap the
New Observation icon at the top.
- At the top, the date and time will be automatically filled out with the date and time you created the observation. Tap a field to edit it.
- Use the Tags menu in the top right to choose an Observation Tag to shows what kind of observation this is: a Baseline, a Parental Observation, a Planned Activity, or other.
- Click on the Media field to add images, videos or audio. You can upload them from your tablet’s Gallery, or access the Camera, Video recording, and Audio recording directly from the app.
- Tap the Observation field to fill out the main text of the observation.
- The field in the bottom right will depend on what you set as your Main Framework. Tap it to fill out an assessment:
- Check the box next to statements that apply to this child.
- Choose assessment levels for aspects and statements by selecting them from the top of the screen or drop-down menus.
- Tap Done when you’re finished.
- If you want to add a framework that isn't your main one, you can find all your enabled frameworks along the top. Tap one to add it to the observation.
- In the Next steps field you can either type freely, or tap View Framework to bring up a list of enabled frameworks. Choose one to bring up the framework. Select statements that the child is working towards, much like you would when adding a framework. Tap OK to copy those statements into the text box.
- Tap the Evaluation and Additional Notes fields to fill them out.
- Tap the
icon in the top right to add Staff Notes/Insights.
- Tap Save as Draft, or Submit for Review so it can be checked over by a manager before being published.
