The program is the same, it's the ease of use. Students can click
on any word as they are working independently while I work with
others. Students can click on the vocabulary words and they can be
defined. All the documentation is there for scores for parent
teacher conferences. Students seem to love it more on the computer
than the old tape player for whatever reason. They can use their
mouse/curser to follow along and I can be checking them from across
the room if they are on task. It is easier to use vs the tape
machines.
Because it is so easy to use, I use it every day. Before, it took
time to find the tape, insert the tape in right. We lost tapes.
Before, I used it only a few days a week.
