Student Sign In is Easier than Ever with QR Login
Get your students quickly signed into their own accounts and playing lessons with QR Login. It is not easy for younger students to remember usernames and passwords. And, logging into accounts for an entire class should be fast and easy for teachers.
To make it easy for students to sign into their own accounts, TinyTap generates a unique QR code for each student’s account. Now they can focus their time on completing assignments, mastering tests and creating their own games.
To sign in students simply need to click the “sign in with QR code” button and scan their codes with the camera on their device when they open TinyTap on an iPad, iPhone or iPod.
Engage students with QR Login! You can share activities with students remotely by assigning games on TinyTap. Print out the Parent Handout and send students home with an easy way to stay connected and learn.
Here’s how you can use TinyTap to manage class tasks:
- Assign homework: Assign class activities and tests, and track progress with fully measurable games.
- Pre-assign a learning plan: Assign 2-3 activities for students to complete each week by setting weekly tasks at the end of the school year.
You can use QR login to empower students to connect in class and at home:
In class, make it easy for students to login independently by cutting out individual cards for each student to keep at their desks, or posting the class QR code printout on a wall for easy access.
At home, parents can hang the QR code on the fridge, or in their child’s room so kids can complete lessons at home.
How to Print Out QR Codes:
From TinyTap Insights, select the group you would like to print QR codes for. Click on the members Tab, and you will have the option to print QR codes for sub-accounts.
Print QR codes to use in class

Introducing Talk or Type
Create voice-based activities with immediate feedback that empowers students to engage and learn
Introducing Talk or Type, a new feature that enables students to answer text based questions through speech. We have updated our Tap n’ Type feature to allow students to answer based on their learning styles and writing abilities.
Writing an answer is not always ideal for all students. Many are still learning how to write and those new to a language are discovering new words. Now students can practice spelling and pronunciation through voice-based activities that allow them to answer through speaking.
Empower Students and Provide Feedback with Talk or Type Activities
Enable students that can’t write to answer text questions. Now students can interact based on their abilities; create spelling activities, read-along games and counting that allow students to recite their answers verbally.
Add a level of engagement with verbal interaction. Bring an extra level of participation to science diagrams and storybooks with fill in the blank activities that allow students to answer through speech.
Practice pronunciation with verbal feedback. Learn new languages independently with lessons that provide feedback on pronunciation. And, utilize Talk or Type for speech therapy lessons that allow students to hear words and practice intonations and proper pronunciation, while learning how to spell the phrases correctly.

Introducing TinyTap Courses
Combine lessons to teach comprehensively and promote mastery of knowledge
Create comprehensive learning units for students by leveraging TinyTap lessons and games. With TinyTap Courses, teachers can design lesson plans to ensure student comprehension and mastery of knowledge.
Ensure Subject Mastery with Score Thresholds
Student understanding can be fully measured because they are only able to proceed to the next game once demonstrating a solid understanding of the concept. This ensures students are able to build on related concepts in the future.
Teach subjects more comprehensively by selecting 3 or more TinyTap activities in a related subject area. For example, when teaching students about grammar, you can include separate activities for nouns, verbs, and sentence structure, allowing students to process related subject matter.
Content Discovery
You can share TinyTap Courses publicly to allow other users to discover your lessons. Courses make it easier for teachers, parents and students to find the educational content they need, and also make it easier for the TinyTap community to discover your content. Interested in selling your lessons to a global market? Learn more about creating on the TinyTap Market here.
When to Use Courses
- Introduce students to a new subject through a selection of related lessons
- Empower students to learn independently with a structured lesson plan
- Assess students’ understanding through fully measurable courses
