It is very informative and helpful for placement assestments

I didn't like it. The kids I work with didn't like it. The parents didn't like it.

A word of caution - Scootpad released a completely new interface in September, 2014. It is very different and looks to be targeted at an upper elementary/middle school. It has lost a lot of the pop for younger elementary students - my K and 1 students are really struggling with the audio support in the math areas. They added "scoots rials" to provide students with self paced help - some are better than others. I would definitely ask fora trial and pilot with real students.

Differentiation with (basic) skills is hard to reinforce within the typical lesson sequence of the day. This is a program that is designed to meet students where they are at, provide targeted practice and move them along towards grade level mastery, based on standards. While not a wildly exciting program, for it's intended purpose, it is a great interface for students. The built in rewards and social aspect make what could be a drudgery of worksheets far more fun. Students love seeing their banks fill up! For teachers, it provides a wealth of information in the reports -- including if a student is stuck in the same level and needs more personal remediation. Progress reports will let parents know the growth their students are making relative to whichever CCSS they are practicing. Great to send home with progress reports.
