Interaction
I love Scootpad because the assignments are linked to the current common core standards and because it's data driven. My students like it as well because it's technology base; however, they think it's boring at times. I think you all should add some interactive activities that are linked to the standards. This will make the kids feel like they're having fun and learning at the same time. Hopefully, this
will bring the program to life.Ms. James

Update the look of Scootpad
Change the look of Scootpad so that it doesn't look childish to a middle or high school student working well below grade level.

Allow parents to lock access to ScootPad features
Enable parents to be able to lock access to ScootPad features, like teachers can. We would like to be able to disable the ability for our child to spend coins on games and wallpapers, for example.

Reset a concept and start over
It would be good to be able to reset any individual concept from a learning path unit so the student can start over. Once they have attempted a certain number of questions incorrectly, it can get very difficult for them to reach the set pass rate percentage.
If I teach the concept all over again I'd like to reset the concept so it is less demotivating and they can gain a proficient score more rapidly.10 votesHi all,
In 2.0, student scores are no longer the typical average but a decaying average which places more weight on the latest score. Thanks for your patience and great suggestions. We really appreciate it!

Allow parents the option to print an assignment.
It may seem counter-productive, but as a parent, I would like the option to print an assignment so that I can help my child with concepts that she may not have yet mastered. It is very difficult to help with Math trying to read the computer screen. It is also difficult, and distracting, for my child, to try to use the scratch pad; so we do the work on paper.
8 votesParents can print work their students have completed by logging into their students account. Go to Math/ELA and then assignments/assessments and click the blue magnifying glass to view/print the completed work.

Scrolling concerns
When reviewing student work, I wish the box that I mark "reviewed" in, and give the student a grade, would scroll down the page as I scroll down to check in each student's assignment. Right now I have to click on the students name and then scroll back to the top to mark the student's grade/reviewed. Then I have to scroll back down to click on the next students name and repeat. I also wish there wasn't two tabs when reviewing student work. I like to see their scores (along with the option of how they answered the problems -…

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. :)

Assignment Review Options
A suggestion from me would be....if there was an easier way to review assignments. Click and go would be ideal. Currently, we have to scroll through the assignments, click on the particular assignment, then wait for the assignment to load. Could there be a way to see the scoring of the assignment on the listing? Or review scores of each particular student.
We have different items we can look at in the reports option. Why not add assignments as another option? I would like to see their assignments as well as know the %. Seeing how they are answering a…

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?

Math (Assignment Reveiw) EDIT OPTIONS
While in the Math (Assignment Review) window it would be nice to have the option to edit the assignment directly from this window, particularly the end date, rather than going back to the assignment grid and finding the edit pencil. It all is a bit clunky when operating within the same assignment. It would be nice to have editing options or editing link within the review window.
6 votesHello!
We are excited to announce that you can now edit the assignment within the review window. This exciting enhancement will make updating the assignment super easy.
Thanks for the suggestion! -
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!

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.

Proficiency Report
Currently parents can see the proficiency by concept report with the lowest % listed first. If you number these on the left hand side it would be easier for parents/teachers to assign the weakest concepts more easily.
For example if I want to make 2 assignments based on the weakest concepts I can click on 1-10 then 11-20 to make 2 assignments fast and easy without having to count where I left off.5 votesHello,
Thanks for the suggestion! We rolled out 2.0 and this process will be much smoother thanks to parents and partners like you!
Cheers!

Vocabulary
Add more options for vocabulary learning and review. My 5th graders do not study spelling and the options under spelling are limited as far as using it for vocabulary. I am stuck with using quizlet for vocabulary and I would love to use scootpad for vocabulary.
5 votesScootPad currently has 1,700+ Word Lists in it’s Public Lists section. These lists are created by ScootPad and other teachers and categorized by grade level. You can access these lists when adding a spelling assignment and clicking on the Public Word Lists tab.

Spelling idea
I would love to see spelling using a picture of what you want spelled and blanks. Maybe a hint button that adds a letter would be a "clue." so that kids can stay motivated. Maybe even a mode where all the letters were present in scrambled order for those that are really struggling. I make these worksheets up myself, using word, but it is very time consuming and I only have very rudimentary graphics.... I'd love to see an ScootPad Version of this spelling game for kids to try. I'd love to see lists of common spelling included sort of…
