Ok, so Scootpad is a great resource for math, reading, and spelling practice. It's free to sign up and they make easy by letting you sign up/in with Facebook or Google. I used Scootpad at the end of the school year last year as a way to keep my students engaged and working up until the last day. They really loved it! Now that I have a class set of laptops, I plan on using it even more this year!
There are 3 levels of membership when you sign up. The basic level is free and then depending on what "extras" you want, you can enroll in the premium or ultra premium plans. Below is part of the chart that shows you what each plan includes. Click on the picture to take you to the actual pricing guide.
Here are some of the things I like about this resource:
1. This tool is totally Common Core aligned, which just about everyone needs these days!
2. You can set up rewards for the students to work towards by completing assignments and earning coins. It's a great motivator for kids!
3. You can get email updates with information about what students are logging in, and how they are performing.
4. It customizes the problems to what the students need.
It's super easy to get kids set up with their own user name and password and they love being able to customize their avatar and emoticon. I've got my students enrolled, and we will be logging in for the first time this week!
Anyone else out there use Scootpad? How do you use it and what have been your experiences with it?
