What teachers say:
“It really changes the way I teach. The kids love it that they can check answers at their own pace rather than listening to me talk away at the chalkboard.”Steve, Physics Teacher
New Jersey
“For anything my students don’t understand, they can go back to their notes to hear explanations of diagrams and keywords. This has been invaluable to my students, especially the special education students in my classes.”
Wendy, Science Teacher
