![]() ![]() I have seen that many of my students get questions wrong on ixl and ask me "why did I get this wrong" and I tell them "try reading the explanation first" an they say "I have but I don't get my mistake". But to get a question wrong and then have an explanation not even explain to them what they did wrong only makes students feel worse. ![]() And finally the students self esteem, any student would not feel great if they get a question wrong. It has an option that says "sorry typo" so that students don't have to lose 10 percent of their progress. I have seen many sites that when a student submits an answer and it has random letters numbers symbols ect. This is what causes students to start yelling or crying it's just awful to see students so distressed. Ex- a student just hit 70 percent they answer and there is a typo students score-68 percent. Which brings me t my next topic, this point system is very frustrating and upsetting for the students. This reward does not make students excited and determined to complete the ixl. First off it is boring there is nothing fun about this and when students do complete an ixl all it does is them a sticker they can use as their profile picture. And I'm not very surprised after I used it myself for a while I noticed the frustration and pain students have to go through. I have had many of my students tell me "ixl makes me feel dumb.". The main problems are it does not encourage students to learn, the point system is unfair, and is destroys a students self esteem. This site is absolutely outrages! I have had 5TH GRADERS start crying in frustration over this site.
