What you'll learn about SproutBeat in the video
1) Why Eik and James Mar developed SproutBeat.
2) How to create folders of worksheets within the app.
3) A description of the three account levels in SproutBeat which can be set up on the website--not through the app!
- Free: Limited Worksheets
- Standard: 650 worksheets
- Plus: all the content (always growing!) with the ability to reorganize
- Studio: All the content plus the ability to set up accounts for each student which then allows you to assign and grade worksheets to single students.
4) How to use SproutBeat if you don't have Wi-FI while teaching. Using the Offline option is handy but remember, this takes up storage on your iPad.
5) How to move worksheets from one folder to another.
6) What happens when you tap on Refresh Library. Make sure to refresh the library to get the newest worksheets but do so before lessons begin because it takes a little time.
7) Words of advice: Take some time to look through worksheets and take advantage of the option to create your own folders. That way you can quickly find the ones you want organized the way you want.
8) Make sure to check the NEW folder for all the latest new worksheets.
9) Check out the GAME folder where Eik has designed games that can be played on the iPad with cute animal erasers OR they can be printed out for use at group lessons.
10) Eik takes requests! If you need a worksheet, I bet she'd make one for you.
