Working with
Kids Academy apps

Kids Academy Talented and Gifted learning apps are the very core of the whole platform. That’s where most of the teaching and learning magic happens.

Click here for the download links for the apps and system requirements. It’s recommended that you keep the apps updated for the best performance. Login instructions are here.

Let’s start with Teacher’s interface overview, the main elements, and their functionality.

The interface consists of three main Tabs: Classes (1), Students (2) and Library (3).

From the top menu you can also manage your Profile (4), access Settings (5) or Log Out from the app (6)

Classes

Once you log in as a teacher you automatically get to the Classes tab. It contains the list of all available classes associated with your account.

1. The area that contains all of your classes and information about them, such as subject, grade and the number of enrolled students.
2. Tap here to add a new Class.

Students

The Library tab contains all the content available for you and your students, allowing you to sort and preview it directly in the app:

When your student launches the app, they will see a more straightforward interface, personalized to be focused on their classes and assignments.

1. My Learning Path button launches the most recently assigned lesson. If no lessons were assigned by the teacher to the student, it will open the list of available classes.
