Engaging and targeted. A fantastic resource

What I don't like, and this is more about me and the software, is that there is so much it can do, that it is taking me awhile to learn. The learning curve is quite long. It is also not engaging in that it entertains them like GimKit or Quiziz. However, there are ways to create engagement. I do raffles for students who do a solid 20 minutes of practice. I also share the data with them and for many the shock of the reality of their reading comprehension level is enough, for others it is the competition of getting to the next grade level. Again, Freckles does not take the place of good teaching practices, it is just a tool.

Freckle is an excellent student learning tool for all subjects. I especially appreciate the ability to set specific learning standards for each student. Freckle allows teachers to track students' progress and assess it effectively, which makes the teaching process more precise and efficient. These features make Freckle a powerful tool for improving the quality of classroom instruction and student motivation.

My overall opinion about Freckle is one of despise. One of the worst parts about Freckle is the placement system, which abhorrently misplaced my students' skill levels. Every single one of my students was placed at a far lower level than their real skill level, creating boring repetitive work. This is one of the most important things Freckle needs to fix right away. Secondly, another large problem with Freckle is that it does not teach anything. Instead, all of the "lessons" in Freckle are just practice. There is a system for teaching new skills, but it is sub-par at best, and a majority of the time, it doesn't introduce any new skills or strategies and just repeats the ones all of my students have learned.
