Also, the students can get instant feedback on what they know. I can reteach if necessary.” Third Grade Regular Education Teacher “My students are engaged. We are able to design lessons that grab their attention. With the children that we have in the classrooms today, we have to have fast paced instruction. That is the type of world that they have grown up in.” Third Grade Special Education Teacher
