Real people sharing real success

Frax

“It [competitions] was great. I made monthly competitions, and we not only battled students from the same grade level, but I invited our 4th and 5th grade classes to compete with my 3rd grade classes. My students LOVED it when they beat the older kids!”

Reflex

“At the beginning of the competition my students were all hyped up and determined to win. They all got on board and were really pushing to do their best to win. If your class is driven by competition, it is very impactful, because it shows you exactly what your students are capable of doing. Your students show you their best when they are striving to pass up their friends. You may only see casual practice most of the time, but if you want a true understanding of what they are capable of, competitions will show you.”

“Students wanted to get their green light on the weekends just to beat the other class! I have less students, so it seemed harder to get them into first place. It would be great to also include the time it takes to get their green light to keep kids focused and working with effort and not wasting time to get their green light. I would also like to see a competition in the classroom for those for speed and accuracy.”

Reflex

“Our presenter was phenomenal and I learned a lot yesterday. Today I did the student demo with my class and they LOVED it. I sent the parent note home today and emailed parents to let them know to look for it so they can connect to their student's account. Hopefully, some of them will get started this weekend! I'm really looking forward to learning more about Reflex with my students as we progress through the school year.”

Gizmos

“It [Gizmos] has provided realistic real-world lab experiences and simulations that I may not have the resources for at school. Students are heavily engaged and critically thinking during Gizmo lessons.”

Reflex

“The Reflex program itself is outstanding. Its game-oriented design keeps students highly engaged, and the way it fosters a sense of achievement is unparalleled. Students eagerly anticipate their time on Reflex, which speaks volumes about the program's effectiveness and appeal. Reflex has created an environment where students can build confidence and master math fluency in a way that feels fun and rewarding.”

Gizmos

“It [Gizmos] has given students an incredible way to look at science through a real world virtual experience. It has helped reinforce many of the topics and subjects taught in the classroom, and thus has created greater understanding for students in science.”

Gizmos

“Gizmo has allowed my students the opportunity to experiment using a virtual platform when hands on materials are not available. Students have been able to gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts when reading and watching videos just can't deliver.”

Gizmos

“Students are able to easily do-over a misstep in an experiment without injuries, feeling high stakes or high costs. It also allows students to review and work independently to make up for time missed. I believe that this Gizmos has increased engagement and strengthened my student's experimental skills.”
