What Is PocketLab Notebook?

PocketLab Notebook is a cloud-based science learning platform developed by PocketLab, Inc. It provides interactive digital notebooks, sensor integration, and collaborative learning tools for K-12 science education.

Key Features

PocketLab sensors are NOT required to use PocketLab-Integrated libraries. The platform provides value through enhanced digital workflows even without physical sensors

Sciesmic has partnered with PocketLab to offer our instructional content through their platform as an optional premium delivery tier. This partnership provides districts with flexible delivery options to match their needs and infrastructure.

Flexible Licensing Options

Can I upgrade from Core to PocketLab-Integrated later?

Yes! Many districts start with Core licenses and upgrade to PocketLab-Integrated as budget allows or after PocketLab sensor adoption. Contact us to discuss upgrade pricing.

Can I downgrade from PocketLab-Integrated to Core?

Yes, you can switch at renewal time. Note that switching means losing access to PocketLab Notebook platform features.

Can I mix both tiers within my district?

Technically yes, but we typically recommend standardizing on one delivery method for consistency. We can discuss hybrid approaches during consultation.

What happens to my content if I switch tiers?

Your library content access continues. Only the delivery method changes. Any downloaded materials remain yours to use.

Evaluate Both Delivery Methods Risk-Free

Not sure which delivery option is right for your district? Include both in your pilot evaluation. Run a Core pilot with half your teacher cohort and a PocketLab-Integrated pilot with the other half to compare real-world implementation.

Pilot Benefits:

• Experience both delivery methods firsthand
• Compare teacher preferences and ease of use
• Evaluate which fits your infrastructure better
• Make data-driven decisions based on actual usage
• Comprehensive pilot summary report covering both options

Frequently asked questions

Is the content different between Core and PocketLab-Integrated?

No. Both tiers include the exact same instructional content—same labs, articles, teacher guides, and assessments. Only the delivery method differs.

Do I need to buy PocketLab sensors to use PocketLab-Integrated libraries?

No. The platform provides value through enhanced digital workflows even without physical sensors. However, if you do have PocketLab sensors, the platform offers sensor-integrated lab workflows.

How much do PocketLab sensors cost?

PocketLab sensors are sold separately by PocketLab, Inc. and are not included in library pricing. Sensor pricing varies by model ($49-$299 per sensor). Contact PocketLab directly for sensor quotes.

Can individual teachers choose different tiers?

For consistency, we recommend districts standardize on one delivery method. However, if you have specific use cases (e.g., AP teachers wanting PocketLab integration while others use Core), we can discuss mixed licensing.

Does PocketLab-Integrated require internet access?

Yes, PocketLab Notebook is a cloud-based platform and requires internet connectivity. Core libraries can be downloaded and used offline after initial download.

What training is provided for each tier?

Core includes onboarding documentation and email/chat support. PocketLab-Integrated includes enhanced onboarding, platform training sessions, and priority support from both Sciesmic and PocketLab teams.

Can I try PocketLab Notebook before committing?

Yes! Request a pilot that includes PocketLab-Integrated access to evaluate the platform with real teachers and students.

Are bundle discounts available for both tiers?

Yes. Multi-library bundles are available for both Core and PocketLab-Integrated tiers with significant savings.

All options include free pilot programs to evaluate before purchase
