Hi Kortney,
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of any of the items you chose. I went on their websites, and they do seem a bit complicated to use. The weakness they share is that not all students may have access to them at home applies to all apps. Not all students have internet or computers at home. Also, they are all priced high; their market target is big school districts. They all look very interesting, I will watch more videos on them.
Kortney!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these sources! I have not heard about any of these and am excited to learn more about them. Have you seen any of these used in the school you work in? I would be interested to understand the uses from a first-hand account.
