“As a 1st through 8th Grade teacher with a Master’s Degree in Career and Technical Education, I am devoted to exploring the best modalities, especially computer-based programs, for instruction.  In my academically-diverse classroom, I needed an accessible platform for creating differentiated learning paths while ensuring my students are learning the Core Curriculum.  After seeing tremendously positive changes in my students because of ScootPad, I firmly believe that every classroom should be required to incorporate its use into the daily schedules.” said Ms. Kathleen Eldridge from Mt. Pleasant Renaissance School, WI.

“I’ve found success through setting goals for my students.  Most students definitely go above and beyond because they are thrilled to see their names on the leaderboards!  I love that I can differentiate learning by assigning personal learning paths for each student.” said Mrs. Liz Olrich, 4th Grade teacher from Beechnau Elementary, MI
