My Take
Though it my take a bit of time to use at first, the overall benefits once you get started are amazing. I have used this for a few years now and could not imagine losing its use. It offers so many things, I still struggle to take full advantage of what it has to offer. I highly recommend it for it provides benefits for as little as homework assistance to spiral learning activities. There is lots of opportunities by the ASSISTments staff for instruction. You won't regret it!
How I Use It
ASSISTments provides lots of skills that can be assigned to individuals and/or whole classes. These skills are assessed, reviewed and reassessed as needed. The program has its own skill builders and you have the ability to create your own. The biggest component of ASSISTments is provided students immediate feedback while they do their homework. I use the results of this via the great reports provided. It helps me with my instruction as the reports guide me towards which questions to review.
