RUBRIC and writing improvements
I need to be able to customize the RUBRIC grades. Sometimes the assignment is only worth 2 points so I need to use a 0,1,or 2 for each category. I also need more space to type a writing assignment. I can only type 120 characters. This is not enough space for a specific assignment.
2 votesHello,
The writing area has undergone some improvements. Depending on the browser you can easily copy and paste, but the information can still be displayed! You can also decide if you want to use the rubric and you can write as much as you would like! Try it out and thanks for your support!

Rigor settings
Feature request: It would be nice to be able to set rigor as low as 5 questions. The reading passages are often long and complex enough that if a student can get 5/5, it is enough... also, possibly to be able to set different rigor or profieciency standards for certain students (ie most kids are on default classroom settings, some kids are customized).
1 voteHi All,
Practice 2.0 has been rolled out and this is a setting. You can adjust the # of questions your students see on a practice session versus a default of 10 or 20.
Thanks for rocking it out with us!

Help for writing section!
Can you work on the word processor part of the writing. My third graders are very frustrated. We have gone to working in another program and pasting it in Scootpad since I like the grading, feedback, and reports.

Assessment word bank
In the math assessments separate the words in the word bank. Example- conecylindercube could be separated into: cone Cylinder cube.

Gathering Data More Easily
This concerns gathering data from students completed assignments. When searching under Mastery Reports and then Activity there is no way to tell what assignment the students are proficient in unless you open every assignment. Instead of saying Math Assignment #2 please change to the topic like Rounding, In/Out Boxes, etc...
Thanks!1 voteHello,
In Practice 2.0 you can view each assignment (with the name you gave it) and the students’ proficiency!Thanks for the suggestion!

Hyperlinks in ClassWall
I like the kidblog.com website because I can post videos and links for my students to click on, watch, then post a response to. I can use Scootpad's class wall for this but I need to have the links be a hyperlink, instead of the student's having to highlight, copy and paste into another browser tab to watch. Please all a link to be posted and clicked on. Also, maybe a blog feature in Scootpad.
1 voteHi Everyone,
This suggestion was fun to implement! Feel free to post hyperlinks and videos on the classwall. Change the target to have this link open in another window!

No Question Retry on Assessments
Is there a way to change the settings so that during practice students are allowed on retry but during assessments there is not a retry option?
1 voteHi there – Thanks for the feedback/question. This has been fixed in Assessments – No retry is allowed in assessments now.
Thanks so much for your feedback, support, and patience.

Assignment due warning
Have a way for the assignments to display different warnings. Example- one day before due date the assignment highlights in orange so student knows its priority. It changes to red on date due. Or have a way for teachers to send individual memo to student privately that they read when opening Scootpad.
5 votesHello,
Thanks for the suggestion! We have updated the program with the ability for teachers to get alerts about which students have not submitted their work by the designated due date. Only students who have yet to complete their work will get a 24-hour reminder alert. Parents are also kept in the loop when an assignment is approaching the due date. Visit our homepage to find out more!

Scoring Reading Logs
Put the review feature for the reading logs on the same page as the submission feature. Then teachers don't have to scroll constantly/flip between the two to be able to score the reading logs.
6 votesHi Everyone!
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Now, you can view and edit a student’s submission on one page in the Reading Log. Just select a student within the Review page and you can open up the Review & Feedback drawer and the submissions drawer.
Again, thanks for your feedback, support, and patience. We appreciate you all for helping us improve the platform. :)

Snapshot dashboard for parents with mutiple children
I have the parent subscription and my three kids use Scootpad. It would be nice to view everyone's progress in one place without having to go into each individual account. A snapshot dashboard would be great.

Selecting questions for Assessments
I would like to be able to see the question bank and pick the questions for my assignment and assessments, not just the question type.

Disable Immediate Feedback on Assessments
Please take immediate feedback off during the assessments. Or make it an option. I have a student that gets very frustrated when he misses ONE item. I really wish all of my students did not see their progress during assessments.

Reading Log Page Organization
Reading Log Completion Organization.
It would be nice to be able to sort the reading logs by the amount that students have completed for the week. That way teachers can "inspire" those students who haven't completed any to complete them.
It would also be awesome if there was a way to have a scroll bar by the students' names so you could see whose reading logs you are reviewing. It would make assessing work much faster.
0 votesHello,
The reading log was revamped and includes all of those features! Thanks for your suggestions and support!

Assignment questions - Assessment Format
I would love to see the questions types on assignments match the questions types on the assessments. Students practice on assignments, but the assessment question style is different and it can confuse some students. Maybe add some similar 'assessment style' questions to the practice?

Direct link to e_book from within Reading Log Assignment on Dashboard
WHen teachers assign an e-book, students see an "assignment block" on their dashboard with the response prompt from their teacher. The title of the e-book is in the title of the assignment, but kids have to then go to e-books, navigate through all the levels to find the book. We need a DIRECT LINK from the assignment to the e-book - just like you see when you click on the Reading Log choice in the left tool bar.
5 votesWhen eBooks are assigned, it shows as one task on the student’s dashboard. Students can click Read to open the eBook and Submit to write their reading log.
