I’ve had nothing but happy, engaged faces when my students use theses activities created by Think Tank. High level of engagment, challenging, yet fun.
Shannon H. –
It is a really wonderful resource but a few of the activities were not accessible for my students, even though we have no tech restrictions in place. I could see them on my computer but the integration with Google Classroom was a limitation. We are a private school with no firewalls in place at all. I worked with our tech department for a full day trying to make it work and they could not figure it out. I have had very poor luck with digital rooms.
Lisa Fink –
Everything works as it should as noted in the reviews. You are experiencing firewall settings set by your district.
