Are Firefly Online products available as an app for students?

English Stars Sound Waves Literacy Think Mentals Writing Time

No, all Firefly Online products are web-based programs designed to work on any device connected to the internet.

However, you can still save any website to the home screen of an iPad to give students the same one-click convenience of an app.

To do this:

  1. Open the student site www.fireflystudents.com.au in the Safari browser on a student’s iPad.

  2. Tap the Share option and select Add to Home Screen.

  3. Assign a name for the saved web page, such as English Stars or Firefly if your class uses multiple programs.

  4. Select Add in the top-right corner.

Don’t forget to give your students their login details. You can find student login information within your own teacher access.
