"Our challenge was to create activities that could help young children understand and practice complex concepts like synthesizing or evaluating - and have fun at the same time. Eduweb was quick to grasp the gist of what we wanted to teach, and then managed to turn our educators' vision into something delightful to look at and fun to use. As they guided us through the development process, they continually looked for solutions that would engage students in more meaningful ways. We are well satisfied with both the developoment process and the final product." Peggy Garties Wisconsin Educational Communications Board |
