What educators are saying

These card are the bomb. They helped me incorporate ELA in science, reading to find the msin point of an article and also helpful for getting students to examine the lab for more than step by step instructions. Thank you!
This has so many uses for all my science classes. I like having the option to use Google Forms or physical cards. Being able to edit the questions is also great.
