Getting Started With Hatch™: Using Ignite

Before using Ignite by Hatch™, make sure you have completed your rostering in Hatch Insights™: [Teacher] Getting Started With Hatch™: Rostering.

Setting Up the Ignite by Hatch™ App for Play

• If you have Hatch™ devices, Ignite should already be installed. Follow the instructions to set up your device if this has not been completed already:
  • Hatch™ Tablet (102) Device Setup Instructions
  • Hatch™ Tablet (103) Device Setup Instructions
  • Hatch™ All-In-One (AIO) Computer Setup Instructions
• If you are using a Chromebook or Android device, install Ignite from the Google Play Store.
• If you are using an iPad or Apple device, install Ignite from the App Store.
• If you are using a Windows 10 device, you can find the Ignite download file by visiting this page in Insights. 

Ignite is also accessible on the Internet using a Google Chrome browser: Ignite™ by Hatch®.

Ensure that your device has a reliable connection to the Internet so that it can send data to your reports.

Logging In to Ignite for the First Time

After you have launched the Ignite app, you will see a login screen. Log in with the same email address and newly created password from Insights. 

Single Sign-on With Clever or ClassLink

Ignite can be launched via your Clever or Classlink portal on the device where the Ignite app is installed.

• Open Clever/ClassLink, and select the Ignite app.
• Child accounts will be sent directly to the tree house to begin play.
• Teacher accounts will see either a class-selection screen or the child login screen, where a child’s photo must be selected to begin play.

• To play Ignite at home, make sure your student information system (SIS) includes family members names and emails.

After Logging In

• You'll see a few animated loading screens, and you will need to accept the terms and conditions.

• If you have multiple classes, you'll see the option to choose a class.

• After you or a child selects the class, a row of child photos will appear.

• This is the child login screen for your class.
• Once you see the child login screen, you can place your Ignite device in a technology center or another appropriate place in your classroom.
• Children can log themselves in independently by touching their photos twice.
• You're ready to go! Encourage children to play for 30 minutes each week, and watch data flow into your reports.
