Adaptive Progress Tracking
In the future, I'd like to see a way for ScootPad to not only track students' progress, but also automatically advance them ahead or move them back based on their progress.
1 voteHello,
Thanks for the suggestion. With the rollout of 2.0, we have advanced the algorithms used to adapt practices for the student. Read all about it here (https://www.scootpad.com/features/mas-adaptive-practices).
We appreciate you!

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!

ELA practice - Capital Letters
It may be helpful if you could make the ELA practice more friendly for kindergarteners. One problem tells students to type capital letters when they have not been taught how to type yet. Is there a way where you can have capital letters and lower case letters, and ask students to pick which one has capital letters. This would be helpful.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. We have revamped Practice 2.0 and this was taken into consideration.

Assessments - Same Exact Questions Across Two Assessments
I was wondering if the teacher could assign students the same questions, rather than a random pool? We would like to use these assessments for PLCs (Professional Learning Communities). In these meetings, teachers analyze data, common errors, and question wordings. If teachers were able to build assessments that were common among students and classrooms, we could use these reports in our PLCs. We really like the assessments because they mirror the PARCC.
1 voteThank you for the suggestion. Assessment 2.0 allows you to do this!

Total Assignment Average Score
I would like an average of my assignments that I assign. For example, I assign a months worth of assignments, say 10 math for one month long. Before, it would give me scores of each assignment but then average the 10 together for a final score.

No Question Retry on Assessments
Is there a way to change the settings so that during practice students are allowed on retry but during assessments there is not a retry option?
1 voteHi there – Thanks for the feedback/question. This has been fixed in Assessments – No retry is allowed in assessments now.
Thanks so much for your feedback, support, and patience.

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!

Report print functions
I would like to be able to print the dashboard report information with one teacher to a page.
It would also be nice if the Summary by Teacher dashboard report accessed all teachers in ABC order instead of having to click on the letter tab at the top to bring up a summary of teachers whose name begin with that letter.
1 voteHi there – Thanks for the feedback/question. This has been implemented and you can now print the pages in a printer friendly format.

Gathering Data More Easily
This concerns gathering data from students completed assignments. When searching under Mastery Reports and then Activity there is no way to tell what assignment the students are proficient in unless you open every assignment. Instead of saying Math Assignment #2 please change to the topic like Rounding, In/Out Boxes, etc...
Thanks!1 voteHello,
In Practice 2.0 you can view each assignment (with the name you gave it) and the students’ proficiency!Thanks for the suggestion!

Add more variety
Practice problems are repetitive and boring. Please try to spice up the problems, especially word problems by adding more different questions. We're paying a lot of money for this program and I don't want to have the kids answering the same formulaic word problem ten times in a row (The school got ___ packs of paper. In each pack were ___ sheets. How many sheets?)
1 voteHello,
We now have over 50 different item types in the program! Check them out (https://www.scootpad.com/platform/tei)!
Thanks for the support!
