Access

I've been trying to access my account, but it says it's not set up for Gold users. What does that mean?

Response from developer

Hello Agnes, we are sorry to hear about your confusion. The MyTeachingStrategies app works for customers who have both Tadpoles and Gold licenses through Teaching Strategies. If you are a Tadpoles customer who does not have a Gold license, then you need to use the Childcare by Tadpoles app. If you are a Gold customer who does not have a Tadpoles license, then you would need to use the SmartTeach app. I hope that helps. If not, please reach out to the Teaching Strategies support team at 1-866-736-5913 or email us at support@teachingstrategies.com.

Gold member

When are you going to let gold members have access to more then documentation. We should be able to do checkpoints and have access to the cloud.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We will take it into consideration in our future planning.

Music Interaction

Why does the app turn music off? There is no part of the app that plays music so it shouldn’t shut off sound. Please fix!

Response from developer

We appreciate your feedback. We'd like to gather more details so that we can identify and troubleshoot the issues. Please contact us at techsupport@teachingstrategies.com.

Currently not available

If we have access to gold we should have access to this app for as much as this $$$$.

Response from developer

We appreciate your feedback. This app is for only a certain subset of TS users with a specific license combination. Please give the Gold Documentation app a try! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teachingstrategies.gold If there is anything else we can do, please contact us at techsupport@teachingstrategies.com.
