Spelling Groups
Groupings for spelling. Many of us are using Words Their Way which places students in developmental spelling groups. Can we have the option to create groups for spelling so we can assign a group a list of words rather than clicking (and sometimes forgetting) each student?
0 votesThanks for the suggestion! We have implemented adaptive Spelling Practice which gives teachers the ability to let their students learn vocabulary and spelling on Auto-Pilot.
Here is how it works:
1. Each path has 40 word lists
2. Students practice each list in the path, one-by-one
3. Once a student achieves a 100% on a word list, they pass that list
4. Once a student passes each word list they move on to the next list, and so om -

Option to Reassign Failed Assignments
Option to reassign failed assignments. (Now, I create a new assignment for just the student(s) who did not meet my expectations, but it would be nice to be able to delete their previous score and have them retake it without having to create a new assignment.)
15 votesHi all,
In 2.0, you are able to reassign assignments easily. Also, student scores are no longer the typical average but a decaying average which places more weight on the latest score. Thanks for your patience!

Improve Placement Test
Please adjust the placement test, so one wrong answer will not end the test. There should be at least two questions dealing with each standard. It is very easy for a student to accidentally click the wrong bubble or for the audio to be unable to play.
17 votesHi All,
Thanks for the suggestion. The 2.0 Diagnostic test solves for this by assessing students on the foundational concepts across the entire learning path which are necessary for the higher level concepts. Check it out for grades K-6! Thanks for your support!

Allow kids to earn more coins when practicing
When my fifth graders work on scootpad practices and they get 100% I think they should receive more than 25 coins
26 votesHi there!
You are able to now give students more coins! Take a look at the blog post (https://blog.scootpad.com/2016/11/09/motivate-students-with-bonus-coins/)

Spelling Words
I would love to be able to hit the tab button when entering my spelling words for the week instead of having to click onto each box separately. Just a thought! :) Keep up the great work, guys! This first grade teacher is hooked!!
13 votesHi all,
In the spelling section of the platform, you can paste your words in right from a csv file. This makes it super easy to make an assignment and view student progress ;)
Thanks for the feedback!

Need a more user friendly way to Customize Learning Path.
Make customizing the Learning Path easier to use. When I choose the outcome it jumps me back to the very start every time and I have to click through a bunch of steps to get back to where I was only to do it time and time again.
4 votesHi there,
In 2.0, you are able to drag and drop concepts in order to create the learning path. It’s very smooth and easy to use! Thanks for the suggestion!
We appreciate you!

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!

In the activity report, show the number of practices assigned as well as the number of practices completed.
The activity report already shows how many practices a student has completed, but I would also like to know how many practices were assigned on the same report. This way, I can help students stay on track to complete all assignments by their due date.

make it so there is a viewable history of all the concepts a teacher has ever assigned for a given class
Please make it so the teacher can view a history of all the concepts she's custom assigned to a given class. Because I skip around, I worry that I will reselect one my students have already completed. It would be extremely helpful to be able to check a numerically arranged list of what I've already chosen.
71 votesGood news! This feature is now available! You can view concepts that were previously assigned when you are selecting concepts for manual 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!

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,

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!
