How I Use It
I specifically used this for my dual language/ELL learners. I thought it would be a good app for them to bridge from Spanish to English but they lost interest VERY quickly. While I like the concepts, the gamification element is very weak and the software simply didn't hold my students' interest.
My Take
I think that this is a great concept but I do think that for the target market it needs to have more gamification elements to make it more appealing to the younger set.
