Community reviews for eSpark

This is a convenient and effective teaching tool. The user-friendly teacher end helps me see reports on usage and student success, which I can use to communicate with parents. I encourage kids to use it a few times each week at home, and even more for students who have fallen below grade level.

I love how eSpark adapts to my students based on what they are able to complete on their own. I am not overly fond of the writing portion of eSpark. It does not help my students expand on a story as much as I would like to see. At this point, though they are expanding, there are not enough skills for some areas of math and reading.

The premium package allows you to get a bird eye view and close up to get student.

I like to look up certain students and the level they are working on. Sometimes maneuvering through can be challenging especially when I don't go into the program but every few weeks. I'd like the dashboard to be a little more user friendly but once I refresh myself, I'm good to go.

I absolutely love this program. It is very user friendly and students love it!

My overall opinion of this tool is I love it. When you have a class of 24 and you have 20 different reading levels and math levels, it is very hard to differentiate within the time teachers have for planning. Using eSpark is easy to use, fun for the students, and most importantly, very engaging.

The eSpark learning resource is engaging, motivating, and informative for teachers!

I like how interactive the website is. My kids love when little changes are made (like winter time & adding new characters). I also enjoy all the tracking that is done on the students' work and that it doesn't just disappear or you have to do it yourself.

I feel this is beneficial to students as it starts out with a placement assessment. It is easy to adjust skill levels as well as assignments. In my district one downfall is slow internet so sometimes it works slow and students can become impatient.

I really like that it starts each student off with a placement test. This allows me to know what skills need more work than others. The videos are engaging and I can scaffold the topic by choosing different grade levels so that I know I am meeting all of my learners. I also love the wealth of knowledge that the reports show. I do wish that more content was free. I started using it on my own before my district picked it up, and it was expensive for a first year teacher to pay for on their own.
