My Take
My overall opinion is that students will enjoy it..
How I Use It
I teach social studies and math intervention and enrichment. I would take class time to ensure students can easily login/out and use the program. Then, this would be used for morning work, when students are finished, or after snack at the end of the day. It would be used daily in one or more of these time slots.

Sometimes the lessons can be challenging for for younger
