What the testers said: “When I started using this program I was excited to be able to write my observations down immediately, have them logged to the child, and to be able to add the developmental stage all within a couple of clicks. ICT not being a particular strength of mine, it took me a couple of days to set up the app and begin to use it fully. It’s a good way to file quick observations. It is an excellent tool for supporting early learning goals. Multiple users and devices can write their observations and it can all be calibrated in one place and an overall assessment can be made of a child or classroom. ”

What the testers said: “Loved the WordWand from the word go! Younger children were drawn to this product; it kept them interested and it would be very useful for EAL children. The children loved the ticking time bomb sounds and it seemed to encourage them to think quicker, the game was also great for hand eye coordination. I will recommend this to my friends.”
