Mrs. Cook and I are piloting a computer program called IXL. The company states "IXL is an immersive K-12 learning experience that provides comprehensive, standards-aligned content for math, language arts, science, and social studies."
The kids really enjoyed working there today and earning badges for their progress! I like that it will reteach if they continue to miss the skill. (Of course they have to read the reteaching portion!) I also like that I can see at a glance which kids have successfully mastered skills and who is struggling.
To access our IXL pilot (through the end of December), go to www.ixl.com/signin/uces1. The student usernames are their first initial last name @uces1 (so Sally Student would be sstudent@uces1) and their password is their 5-digit number without the UC at the end.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
