Incorporate same tools as SBAC testing is using so the kids can practice.
It would be great if the same tools students are going to have to use on SBAC testing were incorporated into Scootpad for day to day practice.

Reading Passages for Teachers
As a teacher, it would be very helpful to have access to the reading passages so that I can work with students to better understand WHY they missed a question. Without access to the reading passages, I am not able to give much constructive feedback or explanation.
A PDF or other printable form would be awesome!!!
4 votesHello,
In Practice 2.0, you have the ability to see the student’s questions, including all reading passages.
Thanks for the support!

Kid chat
my idea is to let children type to each other
so they can interact with each other in some way not just message each other with already typed words but there will be a monitor that sees what they type before they send it, so there wont be any cyber bullying.45 votesWe currently allow kids to respond to each other and interact on the class wall

Individual Student Gradebook
Individual student assignment reports. Meaning I can look up if a student is consistently completing their assignments without having to look at each assignment individually.

Teacher "Sandbox" or "Test Classroom"
For paid teacher accounts, it would be very helpful to have a "sandbox" group (at the same level as the teacher is paying for) where the teacher could also sign in as student or parent. It would be very nice to see how things look from student/teacher perspective, and to see how ideas I would like to try out will look in practice before experimenting on the class as a whole.
7 votesHello,
Feel free to add yourself as a student and in that way, you can see the content the way the students see it. You can also give this student version of yourself a “parent” and see how that works!
Thanks for your support!

Rewards
We need to be able to let students know when a reward is not longer available without deleting the reward.
5 votesHi everyone,
The class wall is a perfect area for this. This will allow you to spread the word without removing the reward.
Thanks for the suggestion! -
Coin Resetting
I should be able to reset coins as the classroom manager. I use the coins in a classroom incentive scheme, but it's annoying not to be able to reset them each quarter.
9 votesHi all,
While you are not able to reset the students coins all together, you can reset the coin leader board. This allows you to run the specific contests you want to run as you can instruct the students that they can check the leader board to see results!
Thanks for your support!
