Get access to the core for ALL students
Overall Satisfaction with Unique Learning System
I use them for group, individual, and completely independent work in my online school.
I've been trying to figure out a way to make it more user friendly for online learners so they can do things more independently. I love using IXL because it helps my students when they don't get it right, and because they have a ton of videos that go along with it.
I would also love to see power points and visuals that I can use for the lessons. So I can quickly pull up a powerpoint to go with the lesson to guide me easier and to engage my students more. I have made some like this, but it's just not possible for me to make one for every single lesson that I'm teaching.
I would love to see an option to have students have different levels for different subjects. I have one student who is a good reader, but struggles in math so I would love to be able to differentiate her level that way.

Pros
- Aligning to core at students level
- Having relevant content
- Having plenty of content
Cons
- Having a visual lesson plan for each lesson (a ton of work, but would be SO helpful for teaching)
- I don't have the answer, but figuring out a way to make it easier to work with students online (I have students that learn completely online, and sometimes it's tricky to know what they are doing)
- Links within the suggested unit pacing
- Saved time on planning
- Saved time on creation of content
- Saved time and simplified data collection
It's made it so much simpler and given me a direction to go with supplementing other materials.
Just yesterday I pulled up the lesson and was like, oh great... graphing. That's such a complex thing, I don't even think I should be teaching this student this.
I started the lesson, and was SHOCKED at how fast he caught on. Just answer example that we teach core concepts becuase we never know what a student can do. Pounding word problems in them might seem like the best option, but having variety and new skills will help them learn and grow in other areas.
