Teacher Comments: (There are heaps more positive comments online)



 * ===="The tool offers some of the most elegant teaching tools I’ve ever seen produced. Loads to explore too."====


 * ====I played Find Ten for the first time with an ESOL beginners class last week… It worked so well. Very participatory, and the learners were completely engaged with the language.====


 * ====We had a police officer come to give a talk in our classroom today. He wanted to know how I choose students in the classroom so he could get some volunteers. We quickly opened the student chooser. He sure was impressed! He loved clicking the smartboard and having the student names come up! What a hit! Thanks again for your great resources!====


 * ====My colleagues and I work in literacy and numeracy programmes for adults and we think the Word Magnets feature of your app is a really, really great teaching tool! We can use it flexibly in all sorts of ways with a variety of learners…====
