PRODIGY: An Educational Pokemon Experience Kids will NOT Stop Talking About!

Here is a post containing more exciting new information about the technology program PRODIGY!

Prodigy is an engaging, game-based experience students can access at home or school. The questions and instructions are clear for students, teachers, and parents! Students will have the opportunity to create their own wizards to complete quests by answering math or english language arts questions. OH I forgot to mention that they can also have pets and customize their wardrobe! 

I know your wondering about the high cost....... but I am here to tell you that this program is FREE!!!!! Unless you want to purchase the premium subscription, however that isn't necessary because the free membership has all the important components. This program is user friendly and students love it because they are playing a game while learning! Teachers have no fear because student progress is reported and data can be found on the teacher dashboard. Prodigy has cross curricular concepts in mathematics and english language arts. 

Let's discuss the important details about differentiation!

  • Quests with questions are tiered to student knowledge (easy to difficult) 
  • Advanced students will receive enrichment (challenging quests)
  • Students are highly motivated in the game world exploration 
  • Teachers can customize the lessons students face
  • Incentives are provided when students complete a quest and battle their opponents 
  • Multimedia is included to support all learners like visuals, explanations, audio, and videos
If you're wondering about the instructional strategies that are supported in Prodigy that will enrich student learning here they are!

  • Personalized lessons for each independent learner
