“Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.“

My Take I really liked this site. It offers help in social science, natural science, math and humanities. Each section is categorized based on topic and source such as presentations, simulations, test prep and examples. I would say that this site is geared towards middle to high school teachers/students based on the topics and information it gives. The site is a little overwhelming at first but once you explore and spend some time on it you will begin to navigate much easier. I would suggest not waiting until the last minute to use this but to make sure you devote time to explore and find the appropriate material. How I Use It This product would be helpful for any classroom/subject. It offers a wide variety of topics which I like because I have in the past taught several different subjects and it's nice to have one source that I can pull for all my subjects. In addition it has several different formats including audio and visual. That helps me with my special education students that I get from time to time as well as all helping to reach all of the students.

My Take I would not use this often, but it is worth a try. I actually like that it pulls in from other sites. How I Use It This would be a good site for flipped classroom, and to review specific topics.

I have not used this website in my classroom, however I can invision how HippoCampus could be useful in my instruction. It appears that you can easily create an account with HippoCampus to help organize your videos into a playlist. Then, you can share your lists with other users. This is a great way to organize helpful videos. However, to simply watch videos, it does not appear that you need to sign up for an account. After exploring the site, I would imagine that this website was designed for older students rather than younger ones. Perhaps middle school or high school students would find the most this website most helpful. My elementary students would likely have some difficulty navigating the site. When I most recently explored this site, I found video content to be organized into four categories: Math, Natural Science, Social Science, and Humanities. The majority of videos that I watched provided solid explanation, but little if any actual practice for students. Also, some videos required users to download them. This extra step could be less inviting for some students. Finally, I found some of the videos to be outdated and dry. These videos quickly lost my interest, as they would students' interests.
