IXL------ A Tech Program Students and Teachers Can't Stop Talking About

I was asked to write a post containing additional information about IXL and I am SO happy to be writing this! 

IXL is a user friendly program with clearly labeled sections for easy student access. Students can navigate the program independently, however there are a TON of videos that can help support! IXL is a program that also can be accessed at home for additional practice (homework!!). Teachers can assign lessons that correlate with their current curriculum. Did I mention how easy grading in class and homework assignments just got? IXL collects the data to help teachers get a better glimpse at their student's academic progress. 

Now let's discuss the cost!

IXL offers a free trial for 1 month to help you make the decision if the program works for you and your students! 

The yearly cost for a 1 year classroom license (up to 25 students) with all subjects (Math, Language Arts, Science,  Social Studies, AND Spanish) is $899.

The cost varies depending on the subject areas you would like to purchase. If you would like to know more information about the cost you can visit this link:

The DIFFERENTIATION is something to talk about!!!

The user friendliness, instant student feedback, and detailed data help this program to strive in the education tech world.

IXL offers cross curricular topics in ALL subject areas which helps teachers reinforce learning targets from class.

As students complete lessons, IXL will analyze their performance and adjust the difficulty level for them. Students will be challenged and supported working at their independent pace. How can we ask for a better way to provide support and enrichment for our students? IXL offers a wide range of skill options to ensure students will not become bored of the topics! For example, there are different math concepts and reading genres students can learn about! Did I mention the supports implemented for all learning styles? Students will be supported with visuals, interactive lessons, explanations, and audio options. 

There are many instructional strategies that are supported in IXL that will enrich student learning! 

  • Differentiated, targeted lessons 
  • Personalized lessons tiered to student knowledge 
  • Scaffolded skills from easy to challenging 
  • Progress monitoring is instant when students complete a lesson
