LearnPlatform
Prosper ISD vets the digital resources used throughout the district. LearnPlatform lists the digital resources that have been approved for use in Prosper ISD. You can find LearnPlatform in the Prosper ISD Portal.
You can search the website for a specific tool or use the subject area/grade level filters. If you don't see the tool you want to use on the approved list then you can request that it gets vetted for use in Prosper ISD. If you need help, check out the tutorial videos here.
