The digital experience refers to the platform Amplify teachers and students use to access their curriculum. In the digital experience, there are both educator and student experiences with online resources to support both parties.

With the digital experience, everything teachers need is in one place, making it easier than ever to plan lessons, present digital content, and review student work.

The digital experience has flexible options for implementation and use of technology.

The digital experience includes easy-to-access digital e-readers that are embedded into the reading lessons. The digital books have read-aloud functionality.

You will still receive your physical books in your classroom kits. K–1 teachers will still receive big books.

Student Investigation Notebooks are now available digitally and are embedded within the digital student lesson experience. The digital pages allow students to type text, upload images, and record themselves talking. Students can also use a digital marker set to draw and write.

Traditional pencil and paper Investigation Notebooks can still be purchased. The Investigation Notebook content is exactly the same in the digital and the print versions.

As you transition to using the digital experience, there is flexibility in how you choose to implement its components in your classroom. For instance, you might choose to use only the physical books, only the digital books, or use a combination of both.

There are three different models of flexible implementation that you can use:

The digital immersion model is where students work primarily on digital devices. This model might have students using digital devices every day, and completing all or most of their work on digital devices.

In a blended model, educators balance the use of digital materials and print materials.

Students might follow along with the lesson slides, but they could also read physical books or complete their work on paper.

In the TechLite version or model, students are spending less time on digital devices and mostly completing their work on the paper. In the TechLite model, there still might be times that students need digital devices, for example when there are digital practice tools.

After you log into your Amplify account at learning.amplify.com, you will land on Educator Home.

You can access the lessons, and review recent and assigned lessons. You can quickly pull up students' digital Investigation Notebook pages without the need to launch an individual lesson.

You can track data in real time with the live review tool embedded within every digital experience lesson.

The digital experience allows you to keep an eye on all of your students as they write, record audio, draw, upload and capture images, and more.

In Student Home, students can access their assigned lessons. They can mark assignments as done, go back into prior assignments, and access the Student Apps page.

You can choose to pause student screens during the presentation when they do not need their devices or when you’d like their attention. Clicking Pause on the Teacher Guide tab will freeze student screens and an “eyes on teacher” message displays.

You have a variety of options to control how students navigate within the digital experience. You can use the default teacher-led mode to tie students to your presentation location as you advance through the lesson, or choose to turn on student-navigated mode, allowing students to navigate through the lessons themselves.

You can also set specific student pacing, where you pick which slides students can access and move between. See more about student pacing here.

The digital experience allows flexibility with optional features like scheduling assignments in advance and setting due dates.

You can use Scheduling to determine the date and time that the assignment appears in Student Home. You have the flexibility to schedule when assignments appear and use dates to remove assignments from Student Home.
