  • Administrators and teachers can find the Play Log by visiting REPORTS > Exports > Play Log.
  • You'll see a brief summary of what's included.
  • Select the gray bar labeled Filtering Options to unfold ways to filter your export.

How Can I Filter the Play Log?

No filtering is required, but you can filter using the following options if you wish.

  1. Time Range: Choose a start and end date for the data using a calendar date picker. Select any time period that has play data for active children. Archived data does not appear in the Play Log.
  2. School: Limit data to one or more schools.
    • Org administrators can select schools in their organization.
    • School administrators can select schools they manage.
    • Teachers will see the school or schools to which their classes belong.
  3. Class: Limit data to specific classes you manage. Only classes within selected schools will appear.

  4. Child: Limit data to specific children. Only children within selected classes and schools will appear.

  5. Experience Type: Teachers and administrators can choose between the four types of experiences (Core Skills, Guided Practice, or Free Play) and see events for each specific type.

      • Core Skills: The primary experiences of Ignite through which children progress.
      • Guided Practice: Practice experiences delivered to support children that show a need for support in a particular subdomain.
      • Free Play: If a child completes all experiences in Ignite, the child may replay the core experiences for fun. These experiences are not scored and are called Free Play.

  6. Domain: Filter the export to see only experiences that belong to certain Learning Domains of the Seven Domains in Ignite.

  7. Display Time As: This toggle allows administrators and teachers to choose to display the child playtime for each session in either seconds, minutes, or hours. The time will be displayed as a decimal.

  8. Age: This filter enables teachers and administrators to choose to see data for children within the specified age range.

  9. Grade: This filter enables teachers and administrators to see data for children within a specific grade based on the grade specified in each child's profile. Keeping the toggle set to ALL will include data for children without an entry in this field.

  10. Language: Filter to see data for experiences played in only English or Spanish. By default, play in all languages is included.

  11. Race: Filter data to experiences played by children of a specific race. By default, race is set to ALL.

  12. Ethnicity: Filter data to experiences played by children of a specific ethnicity. By default, ethnicity is set to ALL.

  13. HatchSync®: This option only appears for organizations that use HatchSync to send documents to Teaching Strategies GOLD®. The toggle has three settings:

    • None: The export will not include HatchSync info.
    • Count: The export will include a count of documents sent.
    • Detailed: The export will include:
      • a count of documents sent
      • the date sent
      • objectives and dimensions associated with the document
      • the level assigned (if applicable)
      • any notes/descriptions included

What's Included in the Play Log Export File?

As mentioned, each row in the Play Log describes a single child experience (game) as played by one child in Ignite.

  • The Play Log lists the school and class to which that child belongs so that data can be filtered.
  • The first and last name of the child playing is included.
  • The grade of the child.
  • The starting skill level based on their grade. For more info see: Ignite™ Grade Placement for Children
  • The name of the experience itself and the experience type are included. See above for a description of the experience type. 
  • The Domain and Subdomain (skill labels) for the experience are included.
  • A description of the skill experience is included.
  • The skill level (1–12) is included. This number matches the skill bars in the Child Skill Details report.
  • The date and time the experience was played are included as well as the duration of the experience. This duration will be displayed in your chosen format.
  • The percent correct is listed.
  • A count of HatchSync documents sent is listed if HatchSync options are enabled.
    • Please note that only Core Ignite experiences send documents.
  • As described above, if the Detailed view of HatchSync documents is selected, the date, objectives/dimensions, level, and notes will be included as columns in the file.
