Weaknesses

If a student
doesn't accurately
type in each word,
even if they spell
it correctly during
a test, the app will
record it as
incorrect. Does not
have ability to
track multiple
students results
Does not provide
teachers with
large student
loads with a more
streamlined way to
address students'
needs.

Requires manual
entry of student
names, tracks data
but does not
analyze it.
The standout
feature,
curriculum
mapping, requires
a premium
account, teacher
interface is a bit
overwhelming.

Online and device


accounts can't
sync; there's no
way to adjust
feedback after a
test.
Compatibility with
separate
presentation tools
would be useful,
as could the option

response activities
in the classroom
