Community reviews for eSpark

eSpark is a tool I would recommend to all ages. I like that the students can login with their google classroom or clever accounts and get right to work. I like that they decide what avatar to use for the day's work. I like that they can work on reading and math in an engaging manner. It shows the students short Disney videos. It allows them to visit websites to read short essays.

I love the ability to assign lessons, create and have students in smaller groups, and also to see the easy to read reports as to what the students have been working on. Great tool to add for students to show their learning and also to have some front loading if you would like.

While being independent, lessons are on target and engaging for students.

The best part about it is the data that is given. You are able to pull students and work on certain standards that they are struggling with. I even receive an email that will group students on certain standards that they are struggling with. I then pull them and go over the standard to help them better understand what is expected for them to know.

I believe eSpark is a very valuable tool. It allows teachers to differentiate lessons and assign tasks based on standards the student needs support with.

My overall opinion is positive because my students love to be on this program. They like the island set-up and how they can see their own progress on a daily basis. When I assign a section to them they can easily get to that point and work independently. The High-5's are something they work for to display on our wall of success.

This an amazing teaching tool! It meets the needs of all students on different levels and pacing. It helps me as a teacher see where my students are struggling and also where they can be challenged. This had my students visibly excited and proud of their successes in class. I love that the students can continue with their progress individually while we move forward in class. It also helped students achieve their IEP goals and work on their indivialized levels in class. It's truly been an amazing teaching tool and extremely helpful in my classroom

I enjoyed using it as a teaching tool. It is especially helpful for online learning. You can see their progress in real time. You could see their progress in relation to state standards. Some of the songs were a little babyish or annoying at times. I do like that the students can't skip through the videos, but maybe give the teachers the option to enter a password in order to skip certain elements? Overall I love using espark and several of my students are excited when they have extra time to spend on it.

I loved that the kids could do this independently. I also loved that it uses different modalities like songs and videos. The information I get on my students strengths and weaknesses is so helpful. They also give suggestions on ways to help in intervention time.

I feel that it provides really great instructional support after introduction of a topic. It also breaks down lessons by grade level so that students can either be challenged or remediated.
