Time4Learning
Hi, my name is Laurie and I was offered a free month of Time4Learning if I provided a review of the program after the thirty days free. I am a mom and teacher of six children. We are virtual school learners through Georgia Cyber Academy (GCA). I had two of my children participate in the Time4Learning program. I had my 8 year old 2nd grade daughter and 6 year old Kindergarten boy use Time4Learning. They both enjoyed the ability to learn online and independently. My kindergarten student enjoyed making the ABC book and playing the games. He is our gamer and these games and activities he enjoyed. He was able to print the books independently. He would even sit with his sister during her lessons and try to help her. The activities were entertaining for both children even though they were in different grades. They didn't have to sit for hours on end and listen to an adult talk. The program incorporates learning and games for each lesson. The graphics were up to date and the layout of the program is easy to manage. This was a user friendly program for me as well as my children. My children might have spent a total of 20 minutes at a time completing a lesson. I even had them complete lessons they already knew because this program was game oriented and I thought my children might pick up on areas they had struggled in. I also had them complete more than one lesson a day because they completed the lessons so quickly. The main reason I sat with my children during the first couple of lessons was so that I knew how the program ran and could make sure they could follow it. I used Time4Learning as a time filler and extra practice to go along with Georgia Cyber Academy’s curriculum. I like having the ability to go into the program and seeing exactly what my children have been doing and the areas they need extra help in. This was truly a learning experience for my children and we enjoyed using the program. We enjoyed it so much that it doesn't even seem like we have been using it for a month.
