Pro: personalized learning for reading and math. Gather the students fluency and continue to show data and creates assessments to see the student’s data.

Con: the website doesn’t create an eye-opening picture to what the program can offer. It is very statistical and research based- which requires a lot of reading and research on your own. Other websites make all important information readily seen on the opening page.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro: created the new zoom whiteboard where collaboration is made easier with sharing screens, files, pictures etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro- It is easily accessible on any device. There is also an option to video chat, upload lectures, and answer student questions. This will help in communicating clearly.
Con- A con to google classroom is that there are no automated tests, which would make grading assessments a more lengthy process. Reviews have also stated that it is difficult for students to share documents with each other through google classroom. This can be problematic if the students are working on a collaborative assignment.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro- it is very engaging for students. There is plenty of opportunity for integration. It also helps students who are struggling or ELLs that need a little more support. Teachers are also able to differentiate lessons to target areas that students need help in or challenge their gifted students.
Con-  One con that I came across was the lack of closed captioning. This could affect a student who has a hearing disability because the instructions are only given verbally. Also, the lessons can allow students to go on their own pace, but one child could advance much further than the rest of the class, which could cause boredom in other lessons and possible behavior issues. It may be better if there was a limit on how much further ahead one child can go than the others.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro- This is really engaging because it allows a fantasy within their math lessons. It is also a video game-type lesson that allows students to compete with their class, which can be a healthy challenge.
con- One con is that this is not a free program. There is a free version, but it has limitations. In order to access this program in its entirety, it would cost parents almost $60 a year, which gives an advantage to students who are more financially fortunate than others.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro-One pro to this site is that it allows a free trial before you commit to purchasing. It helps students with mathematic skills and fluency.
Con- On a website I found with reviews from students, it is not an enjoyable program. Many students reported that the games were rushed and they were bored after a few minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro- This allows students to work on their own level to make progress in problem areas. Teachers can assign specific lessons to students to target specific needs. There are interactive games for the students that help them with reading and math skills in a more engaging way.
Con- the program is not free. Prices start at $30 per student, which becomes expensive for a whole school or grade level.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro-One pro is that this app allows for meetings to take place, even if everyone can not be in the same place. There is a camera and microphone feature that allows the students to connect a little more than a recorded lecture. There is also an option for the host to mute another person if needed. This means if you have a student that continues to blurt out and interrupt, you can place that student on mute so that the distractions will be lessened.
Con- One con is that in my personal experience, it is very easy to get kicked out of a zoom meeting, and then it takes a few minutes to get logged back in. Also, if your connection isn't great, the screen tends to freeze and it is very hard to communicate with others when that happens.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro- Teachers are easily able to give assessments and determine whether or not their students grasped the concepts.
Con- There is limited assessment material for science and social studies because most assessments are targeted towards ELL or math.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro- this is a very quick and easy way for teachers to reach parents. This can make it easier to share announcements, class updates, school info, etc.
Con- there is a limitation on the characters allowed per message, so rather than send one long message, the teacher may have to send several short messages, which can be annoying for working parents.
