I am very excited to tell you about a new online math program that the children are able to acess from home! Below is some information about this wonderful website!
Dear Parents,
This is Some courtesy to inform you that your child's class is now using a free version of Studyladder, an online educational program which allows students to learn at their own pace.
About Studyladder
Studyladder is a K-6 web based educational program designed by teachers. The program is curriculum based and covers Mathematics, Literacy and 8 other subjects. Your child has been given a username and password which can be used to access Studyladder.
Using Studyladder
It is not compulsory for your child to use Studyladder at home, however regular access will help your child to reinforce what they have learnt in school. It will also help to build their confidence through practice.
Safe Internet usage
Studyladder is designed to prevent bullying and does not allow student access to social networking. Your child will NOT be able to chat with anyone via Studyladder. However, we encourage you to supervise your child at all times when using the Internet.
Accessing Studyladder from home
Go to
www.studyladder.com.au
and login using your child's school username and password.Parents have the option to sign up for a free home account which can be linked to their child's school account. Those who register will have access to their child's certificates and results. Studyladder does not charge for this service and it is optional to upgrade to premium access.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please email support@studyladder.com.au
Below are some pictures of what study ladder looks like and what your child will see on the iPad/computer.
What your child will see on their home page. Just like Raz Kids, it allows the children to create their own avatar and customise it by earning points and then spending them in the shop.
The task page has tasks set by me, these relate directly to what we have been learning in class and has the option later on to extend on their knowledge base.
This picture shows what one of the activities looks like. Some tasks may be multiple choice and some tasks asks you to enter an answer. I have also assigned some videos that relate directly to the Australian curriculum which the children can watch to clarify their understanding.
I will be handing out the children's passwords tomorrow and putting them in their reading file so feel free to have a play around with the website tomorrow night.
Please be aware this is NOT compulsory. It is simply another way you can support your child's Nathmatical learning from home.
Have a restful night.
Miss Prowse
