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!

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,

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!

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.

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,
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!

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…

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…

reading log
You should add the ability to duplicate assignments that have already been assigned. We do reading logs every week so extending the due date doesn't help. We have to go through and re-select the fill ins every week. It would be much easier to just make a copy and change the dates.
0 votesHi All,
Thanks a bunch for the suggestion/feedback. Currently, you can copy a reading log assignment and duplicate it.

Math Counters
Counters for the kids instead of the drawing pencil. It is too difficult for k, 1st, and sped students to draw circles for the addition problems.
0 votesHello,
In Practice 2.0, students are presented with the items which need to be counted!

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.

Hey there! This feature is available. As students practice they will see lessons they can launch. In the new Practice 2.0, currently in BETA, these lessons will be launched when the students need it most!
