What Users Love About the App
“The curriculum modules are very organized and clearly tied to the unit inquiry question/ goals.”
“It’s powerful to teach kids social studies from different ethnic viewpoints, rather than the status quo.”
“It solves the problem of isn’t grating reading and writing in none class, with motivation based on real world connections and expert feedback.”
“I like the fact that you can Skype with an expert. This provides the students an opportunity to talk and interact with someone.”
“I like the way the instructions are laid out for students to go through their skill development.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“I would not recommend this tool at this time. I love the integration, the experts and the read world writing process embedded with choice, but need a reading remediation tied to each unit at 2 years below grade level.”
“I would like to see more subjects covered and some group projects in more detail.”
“It seems like it may be too expensive without a lot of outside funding for our school.”
“It would have been great if it was easy to share assessment with the staff.”
“The modules are based around specific novels, which make them dated and very specifically targeted for things that may not be related to my district’s goals. This could require major adaptation to use in my classroom.”
