Fantastic solution for every student

Pros

I love how this puts each of my students on their own learning path. My kids get to go at their own pace, which is great for them to experience success while working through the curriculum. The videos and games are engaging and they stay motivated by earning high fives. It makes celebrating their achievements so much more special!

Cons

My students can replay the games as much as they want which can sometimes become a distraction. They can also skip through videos too quickly or jump around and a few of my kids need me to step in and redirect them when that happens.

Easy to use and engaging platform

Pros

I've been using this for two years with my 4th-grade ELA students and it's quickly become one of my favorite teaching tools. With about 70 kids each year, I get a really diverse group of learners. This platform lets me tailor lessons for each student which is perfect for differentiation. I also love that I can assign tasks to individual students or the whole class. It's an easy way to check if they understood the mini-lessons. My students go wild for Wednesday's high five day! They collect stickers for every high five they earn that week and it's turned learning into a fun competition. The motivation is through the roof!

Cons

I wish there was an easier way to reassign lessons when students don't pass them. Other than that, any issues I've had were quickly resolved just by sending an email to support.

easy to use, perfect for tracking progress

Pros

My students find this easy to use and they actually enjoy working with it. Instead of endless repetition, it uses all kinds of multimedia to explain concepts. As a teacher, I can track what each student is doing and how it aligns with specific standards. The standards alignment is perfect and it even gives me suggestions for small group instruction based on how my students are performing.

Cons

As a teacher, I have to keep an eye on students since they can easily click on unrelated YouTube videos once the assigned content finishes playing.
