Not what I thought it would do.

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.

Freckle is a good tool to use for your students. It is great for all subjects. I like that I can assign a standard to all my students. Not only can I assign lessons based on their own level, I can also print worksheets for them based on their level. Would be a great tool to use when there is a substitute. The higher level thinking relates to real world concepts. This engages students by allowing them to collect coins and use them. You can track your students' progress and give them assessments.

its nice
