This program is free of bias and the level of sophistication is appropriate. Overall running the program is easy. The instructions, cues and prompts are clear and can be accessed at any time. This program will read to the students all the instructions and help features, which makes for active student involvement and very little student frustration. Screen display and materials are well designed and presented effectively.
Feedback is positive and effective.
The program is basically free of bugs, with the exception of some of the drawing tools that are difficult to get turned off. The graphics and sounds are effective. The computerized speech sounds funny sometimes because of the phonetic pronunciation, but it is better than the Writing to Write speech that is on Anderson County computers. The student does have a finished product to share or listen to with other students or family. The major strength of this program is that it allows students to hear directions, words, help menus, and their own stories.
