My Take
This teaching tool is more useful for younger students who are still learning how to read and learning basic math skills. It is user friendly for children and visually pleasing with the use of colorfull graphics. There are also large arrows that guide users what to do next. The downside is there is little to no room for creativity skills because it is constant clicking..
How I Use It
I would use this to review the lessons so the students can learn from a more fun perspective. They can also use this during independent time because it is easy to navigate.

Above all else, the students are happily engaged with information that can otherwise hard to absorb.
