Dodl Notes: Anecdotal Notes for Teachers

Capture student observations from any tab, organize notes by student, and use evidence for report cards and meetings.

You notice important things all day. Dodl helps you keep them. Dodl Notes is a Chrome extension for teachers who need a fast, realistic way to capture student observations during the school day and find them again when they matter.

Open Dodl from the Chrome toolbar, choose a class and student, write the note, and keep teaching. Later, come back to saved evidence when you are preparing report cards, parent-teacher conferences, support meetings, follow-up conversations, or professional reflections. Dodl is built for teachers who want a documentation system they can actually keep using.
