The app is aligned to our curriculum, the Texas TEKS and the NWEA MAP screener that the kids have to take at the beginning, middle and end of the year. \r\n\r\nI know this app will help the kids improve and give them a fun way to practice skills that we have learned.

My students prefer doing their scratch work on the tablets versus regular notebook paper because it's fun and colorful. These tablets have motivated my students to complete their Zearn lessons on a daily basis. My students actually WANT to show their work and it was as simple as substituting notebook paper for these simple tablets. \r\n\r\nI've loved finding other ways for my students to utilize these drawing tablets. We've used them in stations, on daily warm ups, in group lessons and anywhere I would have normally passed out whiteboards and dry erase markers. \r\n\r\nMy classroom has never been cleaner! There isn't bits of paper left around. No dirty desks from the dry erase marker residue. It's a simple change that has made a great impact within my classroom.
