Elementary ESL use

My students have been using ImagineLearning for some time with a lot of success. For my students who are able to log in, they really enjoy using the product and I feel it provides quality, engaging instruction. It's very effective in person with teacher support. Logging in remotely has proved difficult as students have to manage usernames, passwords and a site code. Use on school provided iPads has also proved difficult, as the product states that it is incompatible with Safari (but really isn't, only parents have to click through a confusing screen to access it). Although downloading the app would be ideal, school provided iPads are often locked to parents adding new apps. So far it has been a struggle to get my students with iPads using this program, but my students with laptops do well.

Pros

- Great, engaging content for students - Adaptive program to meet students where they are - Enjoyable

Cons

- Program can be difficult for students to log into - Reports generated can crash easily leading to difficulty discussing these on Zoom calls
