"Skoolbo – Common Core is a great new site for elementary children to help with reading and math. Skoolbo contains dedicated areas for children, parents and teachers. Children are immersed in an incredible learning world, and are highly motivated by the inbuilt reward mechanisms. Parents and teachers are equipped with an array of tools to help them achieve wonderful educational outcomes for their children."
Why should you check out Skoolbo? Because they are offering a "Forever Free" license to schools that register by Sept. 30, 2014.
Skoobo is geared to elementary school (and states that they find the best results in students 8 and younger) that provides online games in the areas of numeracy and literacy. Some of the features that may be of interest include:
* A "Spiral Learning Algorithm' - The first time a student uses Skoolbo they will take a test that will help place them a the appropriate level. After each game is completed the program will reassess, essentially differentiating work for each student. Teachers may also assign specific curriculum.
* Students get immediate feedback and support through the program.
* The program is cross platform and can be used on PC, Mac, iPad, Windows 8, Android and web browsers.
* And remember, it is free (at least until Sept. 30, 2014)!
So head over to Skoobo to check this out. Share it with other teachers you know in elementary school. And if you get it for your school make sure to let parents know.
