IXL

IXL gives teachers easy access to math practice for students. I have used it in my classroom and for small group interventions. IXL practice is broken down into grade levels and by standards which makes finding your topic easy. In my classroom, I would also use it for bell ringers or problems for review games as well.

• Easy to use
• Layout makes finding standards easy

• Increased student learning and growth in Math
• Teachers have access to easy to find math practice for students

It allowed me to give homework to my students without having to make copies of the work and hand it out. It cut down on the paperwork that I had to take home with me to grade. It automatically grades the work, so all I have to do is get the grades and place them in the grade book. It definitely simplified my course.

• The ability to link IXL with Google Classroom, Canvas, etc., and have students work the work without the possibility of losing the paperwork that may have been given in class.

• It has allowed our students to be remediated or enriched on a much easier basis without having to come up with ideas for them.

We use IXL Learning to help students master topics and practice questions outside of the classroom. Much of the classroom times is spent in lecture or reviewing problem sets, but with IXL Learning it allows students to breakdown different concepts into different categories and dynamically work through those that are easy or hard for them and practice each concept until they master it. It solves the problem that students may struggle with concepts since they do not receive enough practice or their practice is not tailored to their areas of strength or weakness.

• Dynamic Questioning/Learning outcomes
• Topic Selection and Progress Tracker
• Grading feature

• Improved Student outcomes and Knowledge retention
• Improved student satisfaction
• Decreased Grading time required for teachers so they can spend more time with students

As an ELA teacher, our department used IXL Learning for targeted practice of specific skills. IXL Learning aligns with our state standards, which made it easy to pull different skills that directly supported the scope and sequence of instruction. IXL Learning analytics allows users to monitor progress, which is helpful for addressing any gaps and celebrating success. The scope of my use was as a supplemental instruction tool. Students would be taught a skill, and IXL Learning was used to support their learning through additional practice.

• Alignment with state standards
• Available for all grade levels
• Easily differentiate instruction

• Improved student test scores
• Improved teacher effectiveness
• Increased student confidence when learning new concepts

IXL Learning is a great tool for parents and teachers that are needing an extra boost or supplement to their pupils learning portfolio. Learning paths can be customized based on state standards, classroom focus and topic specifics. It helps boost pupil confidence in subjects they previously had issues with because the diagnostic area challenges them and then adjusts based on their level of knowledge.

• Adaptability
• Diagnostics
• Range of subjects and options

• Pupil excelled beyond grade level in subject matter
• Pupil caught up to grade level in subject that was challenging
• Tracking progress of pupils is priceless.
