What Other Teachers Have to Say:
“Great app. Intuitive interface. Students loved hearing/seeing their voice+words+pics. Definitely upgraded their text-only narratives.” - Mr. Garvin, 7th/8th Grade Teacher
"The students absolutely enjoy this app! It's AMAZING to use in the classroom. It's great to see a student sitting in the hallway listening back to her own 'math talk and work'. I've shared it with my colleagues.” - Ms. Laidlaw, 1st/2nd Grade Teacher
