What's New in the Alludo Catalog ?
“It would take us years to roll out all the PD that we can on Alludo." - Kathy Jackson, Director of Teaching and Learning for K-12, YCJUSD
You haven’t heard from us in a little while, because we’ve been tucked away in the Alludo rainforest working hard on some of your requests and creating some things we hope you’ll be excited about.
At Alludo, we understand the value of teachers and staff in a student’s life. That’s why we’re hosting our annual “March Wellness!” Every weekday during the month of March we will raffle off amazing giveaways!
Hi, Alludo community! My name is Jamie Bridgman. I grew up in the LA area playing hockey and lacrosse. I earned my B.S. in Biology from UCSB and my M.Ed. in STEAM Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University - Portland. I moved to New Orleans and started teaching elementary school science. When I transitioned to teaching middle school and high school science, I started integrating technology into my classroom. Technology allowed me to individualize student learning and create engaging tailored science lessons.
Alludo is a natural fit for me because its unique platform is engaging, individualized, and can be accessed at one's convenience. I look forward to supporting teachers and district success in my role at Alludo, and I look forward to meeting you all!
Engage students with self-paced, online learning for grades 3-12, curated by top educators focused on student outcomes! Roll out off-the-shelf e-learning content on technology and devices, SEL, counseling, career readiness, and school health and wellness in minutes.

Set your activities to auto-update, and your activities are automagically kept up to date!
To get started…
Admins, A few months ago we rolled out Groups to allow you to segment people into customer-defined groups rather than limiting grouping people to a single school site. Now we’ve taken it a step further and added Automatic Assignment, so you can automatically assign people into groups based on either their domain address or via game invitation. This should save you time!
To start using, either specify the domain when defining a Group for domain-based assignment or specify the Group you want to assign when creating the game invitation.

Group Automatic Assignment via game invitation
Admins, Alludo now supports importing rosters of people and school sites as defined by the One Roster 1.2 open standard. This means you can quickly import people you wish to grant access to Alludo and automatically assign them to the appropriate school site.
Contact support@alludolearning to participate in this beta program.
Admins, you can now share links to specific activities, missions, and levels in your marketing emails to players, so they get to the right spot in an instant. This should decrease any unnecessary back and forth between you and the players and help you increase engagement!
Just click the share link icon in Activities, Missions, or Levels in the Game Builder to get started!
Admins, Gamebuilders, and Achievement Reviewers, We’ve worked on a number of improvements that you’ve been asking for to make game building and administration easier and provide you and your learners with a better experience.
Here they are…
Finding and keeping great teachers is hard. That’s why we set out to find out what gives K-12 teachers in the U.S. job satisfaction and how professional learning factors in. Our hope is that you could use this to plan for 2022-23 and beyond!
Spring CUE is back in person March 17-19, in Palm Springs! We’re hosting a game, “CUE Celebrate!” and we are also hosting a lunch on Friday for Alludo customers. We hope to see you there!
Space is limited. RSVP to save a spot for lunch with Alludo at CUE >
We are so happy to see funding that recognizes educators are the key to improving student outcomes, and an effective professional learning program is the way to get them there.
For California school districts who’ve secured this funding, Alludo can help you manage every “Allowable Use of Funds” in one place!
(For everyone else, if you have similar funding you need to secure or manage, Alludo can help!)
We hope you find The Scoop useful. If you do, please subscribe, so you can make sure not to miss any upcoming scoop! We’d love it if you can share it with your colleagues by forwarding this email or clicking on the social media channel you use most!

“One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.” ~Maria Montessori
As educators, we've all experienced the challenge of evaluating student assignments filled with scattered ideas and jumbled thoughts, leaving us...
