"I struggle with technology sometimes, but from the moment that I got into it and played around with it, I was like, oh, I can do this ... If I can do it, you can do it!"

Amy, 5th Grade Social Studies Teacher

"With Superstructures, kids don't have to wait their turn to engage. They can be typing into the shared diagram ... so that even the quietest students' thoughts are heard."

Britney, High School English Teacher

"Because students can see other students' responses in real time, I've heard aha moments echo across the classroom while we use it."

Makenzi, Middle School Science Teacher

"Whether it's contextualization, periodization, causation, comparison ... this has allowed them to really understand what they're thinking about because they see it on the screen, moving, interacting with other students."

Seth, Middle School History Teacher

"It's a wonderful tool for these students who are more shy to gain more confidence and eventually be able to speak in front of the class ... Every time, I've had 100% participation."

Bernadette, Middle & High School FACS Teacher
