My Take
I love that this app lets my students post on each others work. They get feedback that is positive. The company regulates the posts and makes sure that students are complying with the rules. This app lets your students display their work in a social media-esque fashion.

I found that using this app would allow me to oversee students working toward gaining skills that they were interested in without having to have all of my students work on the same thing. We did earn our first patch together and that went well, but my students love the individualization this app gives.
