Classroom Considerations
  • The app offers so many options it ends up being complicated; therefore, set aside extra time to be come familiar with the possibilities
  • The games can be formatted for individual players; however, extra set-up time will be required for this individualization

  • Multiple players can use the app at the same time
  • The graph function can be used to track data
  • The app audio can be set to read and answer questions for non-readers
