37 Learning.com Testimonials

"Our students use their phones on a minute-by-minute basis, but when it came to keyboarding or using a computer for learning and producing content, they were at a loss. Learning.com was our district’s choice because it gave us an organized, focused, relevant curriculum for our students that we could customize through our learning management system.”

"I think the students have learned a lot, and they can get around the computer better now. Those are skills they’re going to need in their upcoming years."

"Learning.com has put together a series for the PARCC assessment so technical skills don’t become a barrier for students taking the test. We’re also changing our curriculum across the board to include more technology, so the products students are using will be an application of what they’re learning on EasyTech. The product has become integral because we’ve realized how much media and technology are integrated with English, language arts, and math."

"I also share the results with the technology coach at every school in the district. The coaches can use the information to develop instructional plans with administrators.It was easy to see that our elementary students were proficient across all of the different indicators."

"Parents have been a driving force behind this change because they know their children need these skills in order to be successful in college and beyond."

"We analyzed the fifth and eighth-grade assessment results and realized that students needed more electronic writing experience, there’s a different thought and creation process from the brain to the keyboard, as opposed to writing on paper. Students need more opportunities for electronic writing to practice these skills and to ensure college and career readiness."

"Educators have seen students becoming stronger and stronger in their technology skills, over the past couple years and they understand the important work being done in the lab."

"As the Internet becomes more integrated into the classroom, it is crucial for students to learn how to stay safe online. The feedback we received from schools using Learning.com was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re proud to offer this resource to Ohio teachers and students at no cost."

"Project-based Learning is the best way to acquire and retain skills because it incorporates many learning styles. Students can immediately apply what they’re learning to a final product that’s meaningful and relevant to them."

"It was very helpful, and the lesson plans were well written. One of my aides, who wasn’t accustomed to leading instruction, could take students through the projects. It would be especially helpful for classroom teachers who might not be as comfortable with technology."

"The nice thing about Inquiry is that it moves students toward higher-order thinking and away from rote instruction. It’s helpful for developing the 21st century skills, like critical thinking, that students need."

"Students could text with two thumbs, but they struggled with typing assignments. We committed to a three-year program with Learning.com because we knew it would take a process to get where we want to be."

"All you hear is the clicking of the keyboards. There are no discipline problems. Students use Learning.com to practice tech skills, and they’re also getting to the higher-order thinking and meaningful discussions."

"The students enjoy logging in and keeping track of their scores. The lessons are short, sweet and interactive. It makes everything I do easier and faster. This is the first time I’ve seen students relate the lessons to real-life software like Word and Excel."

"We asked parents if typing and formal technology skills were something they worked on at home with their children, and the response was, 'no', that’s when we really began to sense the urgency and need for EasyTech."
