What Users Love About the App

“I love the technology in my classroom. I think this platform brings ELA into the future, exposing students to a variety of texts and mediums to engage in.”

“StudySync has a huge digital library of media and texts ranging from historic speeches to poetry to excerpts from novels. Before I was limited to the texts available on my campus in our school library. Now, I can choose from hundreds of texts and assign different texts to students at different reading levels.”

“StudySync is a progressive tool that can help students develop 21st century literacy. I love that students can engage with a variety of media, read a wide range of texts, annotate digitally, listen to audio recordings, watch video clips, and anonymously provide peer feedback on each other’s work!”

“In my team-taught Humanities class, we use StudySync to find writings to go along with the historical concept we are studying. In Government, I used the StudySync Blasts as a way to get my students more interested in current events.”

“Studysync offers a collaborative, engaging, social media environment that allows teachers and students to analyze and discuss chosen readings in safe, and structured environment. Teachers can choose readings (excerpts or full text) by lexile levels, Common Core alignment, publication date, theme, or other filter options such as genre or subject.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“There is still room for improvement on the platform, including editable resources that are now only available as PDFs, but the company is open to feedback and constantly updating.”
