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.
2 votesHello,
Thanks for the suggestion! We rolled out homeschool for this purpose! Take a look!
Cheers!

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!

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!

Limit math assignment problems
Teachers would like the ability to limit the number of questions on the assignments to 10 instead of 20. As the standards get more in-depth, 20 questions tends to frustrate the children. Teachers are also able to determine if the child has the understanding of the standard without the students having to do all 20.
2 votesHi there, Practice 2.0 solves for this by allowing teachers to choose a default# of questions for practices! Thanks for supporting us!

Hiding Common Core Grade Level for Students
I would like an option to hide the standard my students are working on. I have differentiated my groups according to the skills each student needs to work on but I don't want them to know that they are working below grade level.
1 voteHi All,
In 2.0, students do not see the grade level of the content. Great suggestion! Keep em coming!

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!
Thanks for your support!

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.

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!

Option to alphabetize fulfilling rewards (not just by date)
With the rewards to fulfill, I suggest the option to alpha-order grouping similar rewards from various dates together. Put the same icons side by side. This will make it faster for us to fulfill them if we don't redeem rewards on a daily basis.
1 voteHi everyone,
This feature has been implemented! Thanks for your support and the wonderful suggestions!

It needs an easier sign in for Kindergarten students
Half of my class can sign in, but half are having trouble. If I can make it a single number or letter for them to login, it would help. Also, on the ipad, the voice doesn't match up with the highlighted words, so it confuses the students.
1 voteHello Cindy,
I wanted to let you know we have just added a single-click sign on feature for students so they can log in through a student portal. The link for your students is http://scootpad.com/482403 . We are in the process of adding a button on the teacher dashboard as well as making other changes, so keep an eye out!Thank you,
