Are these useful in a school environment?

These two resources are currently used in my school environment. However, they are only used at the upper elementary level. I believe that Raz Kids could be used in the lower elementary levels because this resource is able to be used at home, and this can help build a bridge between the students' performance at home and at school.  While younger elementary students require assistance with technology, the students may not be able to access this resource unless they are working with a teacher. However, if carried over to being used at home, parents will be able to sit with their child each night since students have access to this resource at all times. In addition, Prodigy is something that is able to be used with students starting in grade 1. While students see Prodigy as a fun activity, it collects student data for the teachers to review. This is also a resource that is able to be used at home since students always have access to Prodigy. Data drives instruction, therefore, these two resources will be extremely beneficial to teachers because teachers are able to look for evidence for each individual student. Teachers and students both benefit from these resources because students are engaged in learning, and teachers are able to assign specific skills and collect the necessary data.

I believe that Raz Kids and Prodigy are the most important resources from my Padlet. These resources target two important core subjects taught in school: English language arts and mathematics. I have firsthand experience in seeing how these resources engage students as they complete their assignments. They both allow for differentiation of skills and topics, are able to completed in school and at home, and track the progress of the students. The ability to track student progress is a form of assessment, and this allows the teacher to analyze the data in order to make instructional decisions.
