ELL and Kidaptive Learning Platform
This week's Google alert was an article regarding a new adaptive learning platform from Kidaptive. The article, Edtech company Kidaptive raises $19.1 million for its adaptive learning platform, Posted Feb 20, 2018 by Sarah Perez (@sarahintampa)
Edtech startup Kidaptive is an adaptive-learning company that began its life with a suite of curriculum-focused iPad games for kids.
The technology behind this learning experience is cloud-based assessment and reporting which is being called Kidaptive’s “Adaptive Learning Platform.” Learner profiles are created with feedback for parents and teachers that can be used to assess how the learner is performing.
One example cited of a benefit is that the platform can “incorporate educational activity that takes place offline to enhance those learner profiles. This is especially important at younger ages, where parental involvement — like follow-up conversations to trips to museums — could help reinforce what the child learned. In other contexts, like language learning, for example, the platform could suggest to parents supplemental materials based on the child’s performance, like additional workbooks or videos to watch.”

This is very interesting. I like how much feedback the program has for parents. I feel that this would be very beneficial. I liked the part where you stated for language learning, the platform could suggest to parents supplemental materials based on their child's performance like additional workbooks or videos to watch. In my blog post I was discussing how to use tech at home, and one thing stated was Hispanic parents are not sure what resources are out there to better help their students. So I think this would be a great resource to help parents have a better understanding of their child's needs.
