From a teacher perspective, I really liked that the app provided a completion score after each interaction with some of the content. As a special education teacher we love data, so I really liked this feature. It would be useful in a classroom setting. I also really liked that I could choose the boards that were of interest to me. I tried this app with one of my limited verbal ELL students. He loved the learning Spanish board. He liked imitating the sentences for the pictures. He could easily navigate in and out of the various games. He also liked the score at the end of the sorting activities. I recommend this product to other special education teachers that are looking for ways to track skills and progress.
A homeschooler family's dream! As a parent, Bitsboard makes organizing lessons for my kids so much easier! It is very user friendly and easy to navigate for parents, and has been a huge help for my five year old to learn Spanish as a second language, allowing her to practice her spelling skills and increase her vocabulary bank. As a homeschooling mom, I am always looking for new ways to keep my kids engaged through their learning. Not only does Bitsboard make it easier for me to create lessons for their school day, but it makes learning fun for them. You can create boards with flashcards, which saves a ton of time, money, and is eco-friendly considering all the paper you cut back on. I've noticed such an improvement in my children's skills through the use of the pop quizzes, crosswords, spelling bees, and memory cards.
