Send shout out to my child to congratulate her on a job well done or something similar.
As a parent, Is there a way to duplicate a child's assignment to another child?

Thanks for the suggestion! We rolled out the homeschool account for this purpose! Take a look!
Cheers!

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…

Linking to webpages
Have links open in a new window on iPads. Right now students can not leave the link once they get there. They need to close out of the app and reenter into it to respond to a link that I shared with them.
4 votesHI there,
When placing a link in the program on the classwall, you can adjust the target so that the video opens up in another window.
Thanks for the suggestion!

easier referrals
It's too difficult to get teacher referral credits because of all the steps needed to input the name in your account settings. If you navigate through someone's personal link, the credit should register automatically.
4 votesTeachers can access their personal “Referral” Link underneath the “My Account” box on their teacher dashboard.

Class Forums
Create a forum for students to post to specific questions set up for students to reply to and also attach documents other students can see as well. I would like to see a forum for students to be able to ask questions for the teacher and vice versa. I was thinking of something set up similar to how online courses are set up. This could be used for questions and submitting assignments which would be a nice alternative to typical paper and pencil. A lot of my students do not have email addresses and this would help serve as a…

Love the new changes, especially the parent wall to enhance communication.
LIke IXL.com, I'd like to see pictures with fraction math questions, because developmentally, pictures aid with the mental construct of fractions for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders.
4 votesHello,
In the Practice 2.0, questions have pictures and many times, students have to manipulate objects to help them conceptually understand what is being presented!
Cheers!

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.

Keep Trying Message
Change the message "Try Harder!" on the student feedback screen - kids getting 90% are seeing this and feeling discouraged, when they shouldn't! How about "Keep Up the Good Work" or "Keep Trying". Try Harder has this conotation of "you didn't do well"...
3 votesHello everyone!
Thank you so much for the insightful feedback. We agree – statements like “Try Harder” has a negative connotation and can be quite discouraging to students. Thus, we have eliminated it from the bank of immediate feedback within all tasks. :)
Thanks for the support and patience, and ultimately helping to improve ScootPad’s platform. We wouldn’t be able to do so without your feedback. You all rock!

Admin Account- Student User Information
I'm a school-level admin in a school with 750+ students. I need a place to print out a spreadsheet-style page with all of my student usernames and passwords to give to my teachers. I would like to be able to see/print a list with all student info on one page.
3 votesHi All,
You can print out a list of students for each classroom that includes the SUN, userID, and password from the Enrollment page within your admit account. Use the dropdown menu at the top to select a classroom then click the print icon on the top right.
If you want to print out ALL student info regardless of which classrooms they are in, you can do so on the Students page under Users located in the main left navigation.
Thanks so much for your feedback, support, and patience. We really appreciate it. :)

Checking Student assignments
Please set it up so that we are able to click on a student's name to see whether they have completed all assignments.
Right now, the only way I can do this is to click on the assignment. It would be so much easier to click on a student's name to see what assignments they still owe.3 votesHello,
This feature is currently in the system. In assignment view, you can view by student and see all assignments for the student as well as their status.
Thanks!

Disappointed
Hello, my students were so disappointed at the changes to your website :( They loved the fireworks and emotion faces that you used to let them choose. They also said it looks so serious and not so much fun anymore. Just thought you'd like the feedback. Any chance we can get those features back?
Thanks!3 votesGood news! This feature has been added! Students can now set the emotion and the fireworks should also show at the end of practices and assignments.

Class Wall
Allow students to do longer responses on class wall section. This would be like a college blackboard scenario allowing students to formulate a response to a question posed by the teacher, but also learn to respond to others in a controlled setting.
3 votesYes! The students can post longer responses and students and teachers can even post videos!

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.

grid
My 2nd grade students have a difficult time drawing the grid to count the squares. The question ask them to draw so many columns and rows and count the squares in it. If it only asked for a few columns or rows it wouldn't be so bad but when it asks for 9 rows and 4 columns, it takes them forever and they get lost. Maybe there could be a grid already on the question they could use to count instead of drawing it themselves.
2 votesHello,
in 2.0, the grid is already available for the students. Thanks for the suggestion!
