Here’s the link to the Skoolbo website for you to have a look at. I will email your login details.

Features:

• matches questions to the level of the student
• focuses on reading and number fact skills
• will be good for fluency practice (homework)
• very engaging
• motivating – points, avatar and room, ‘superhero suit for a week’, etc.
• builds in complexity as student answers questions correctly
• teachers can monitor progress
• easy login system
• each class has been set up, teachers can use the ‘test’ student that has been set up to explore/ model

Aspects to consider:

• sound is an integral part of the program so each student needs a headset when working at school
• parents will need information about how to support students at home (downloading program)
• Skoolbo has been added to all computers in the computer room and in the early years. If you want to download it on others computers please let me know.

Procedure:

• Click on the Skoolbo icon on the screen
• Students will need to enter their normal login (for the computer) on the first screen to get them through the proxy server
• Click on your class
• Click on your name
• The passwords have all been set to black bee, but can be changed by individual students as needed.
• Students will be directed to choose their avatar and then they click on ‘Play’ to start.
• Have fun!
