Just to let you know Bonnie, I love all the software Schoolhouse offers. I teach
what are called, "At-Risk," Special Education kids for Seattle Public Schools and
use one of the bingo programs regularly. My kids don't say, "Cool, or Awesome or
Great." They say, "Bomb, Tight, and Filthy." So we play "Ms. Stub's Bomb Bingo,"
on certain days of the week and it's been a fantabulous hit for all, which is of
course, "Bomb, Tight, and Filthy," all mixed together.
Between the Schoolhouse bingo program and the 10% discount at the Dollar store,
I've become the most popular teacher in our building. And additionally, I've introduced
the same game at summer school the past few weeks and all the kiddos have increased
their math skills at an exponential rate!
Let me add one more kudo for Schoolhouse as well. Both software programs allow me
to add culturally relevant graphics to each and every assignment I create. So the
students learn about contemporary African-American art every week and see their
beautiful personal photos in their assignments.
It would be easy to underestimate the usefulness of the products I have purchased
from Schoolhouse Technologies. I teach Spanish, French and English to adults, and
I'm very impressed with the Vocabulary Worksheet Factory and Schoolhouse Bingo.
What I discovered is that the other programs are extremely useful for teaching adults
as well. Although my classes are mostly conversational, my students love being able
to take something home for review that reinforces what they learned, and in an entertaining
way. They learn well when they have an opportunity to "play" with new language.
Using the Bingo program for vocabulary review is great! My students have fun, and
almost seem surprised when the result is an increased vocabulary. They didn't study.
They just play, and feel like they become bilingual "by accident".
Just wanted to let you know I really enjoy using both the Vocabulary Builder and
Bingo Card Maker. I really appreciated having to type the vocab words and definitions
one time for each activity. This feature is a real time-saver for me! FYI - My class
enjoyed playing Bingo (with their social studies words and definitions) last Friday.
They even asked to play it after the next chapter.
My adult numeracy students love basic facts bingo - so thanks.
