10/10! Amazing

Pros

I love how easy it is for me to access the catalytics after class in order for me to study for upcoming test. It’s also easy to go back to your previous sets.

Cons

I haven’t found something i hate or dislike about it.

Overall, I found this tool to be rather useful when studying for my classes. It's a great resource to pair with textbooks as well.

Pros

I liked how the software followed the same organization as the textbook I was using. This allowed me to easily incorporate learning catalytic into my studies.

Cons

At times, I felt like the information represented in the question wasn't as relevant in preparation for a quiz/exam.

This is one of those auxiliary purchases that most teachers hope never to need to rely upon, but in the digital age, we sometimes succumb.

Pros

I never use this if it didn't provide an online version of the classroom textbook we use, but the annotation functions there are nice.

Cons

The login often has weird issues, the tasks are not especially rigorous or don't go beyond what's already in the textbook.

I am going back to school after a very long time. So this is my first experience with an ebook. So there is an adjustment needed, but I am finding it to be very beneficial. Nice not to have to carry a book around.

Pros

I can have my textbook and Notes all at the tip of my fingers in one spot. I use Mathlab for assignments and it really helps you learn as it gives hints and ultimately explains the correct answer if you can’t figure it out. Instant feedback. Also, price is better than purchasing a book, but still a bit higher than I would like.

Cons

I’m not sure if it’s because of the siZe or the computer screen, but I can’t see a full page at one time and have to scroll down. This is frustrating. But maybe I haven’t figured out how to adjust it yet.

The first 16 years have been actually quite lovely with Pearson. Was a very user friendly products, amazing academic teaching tool, Really fun online books or activities. Until this year! On September 10 I contacted customer support to explain that I did not have access to the online activities anymore. I have been bounced around from support tech to support tech for the past month and a half. Lost valuable time with students. Very disappointing

Pros

Really fun to use. Great teaching resource

Cons

How they treat longtime customers and clients.

Overall, I really like Pearson Education. I've been using it 10+ years now on the middle school and college level.

Pros

There are many things I like about this software. I like that it offers different online material to go along with its textbooks that's easy to migrate through, and I like that it has assessment capability within its software.

Cons

I don't like that the assessment component of the software doesn't generate a different test for each student especially with the software associated with the Pearson products for 8th grade level.

Overall I have had a great experience with them and will continue to use.

Pros

What I like most with this software is that I can use it while at home and I do not always have to be in class at my college. I can teach myself many topics while being on it.

Cons

I have no had any issues with this software and will continue to use on a monthly bases! I would recommend it to everybody.

Pros

The software is very easy to use. It is such a great supplement for learning. In my case as a teacher, it benefits me a lot because its functionality really helps my students understand the material I am teaching.

Cons

There is no way to check the computational fluency of the students (since I am teaching Mathematics) using this software since the questions are either short or multiple choice. There's no way that students can upload their work.

Overall, I have had a positive experience in utilizing Pearson Realize in my classroom over the last 6 years. I feel that they've improved their product over time and make user-friendly and relevant learning materials, which offer diverse options, for my students.

Pros

As a teacher, I utilize this learning platform daily in introducing new skills to students, as well as in student assessment. We have always utilized on-line learning tools and learning videos in addition to our daily lessons. Since school closings, I have been so grateful to have the new modifications to this platform! I am able to build playlists that include materials that are both internal and external to this program for student learning. They've also added digital quick assessments, that are self-checking, so I can track understanding. Completed tasks can be submitted to the teacher and may include messages or questions from parents.

Cons

I do wish that the area where a teacher can type in instructions was larger because communication is key! The area in which I feel the greatest improvement is needed is the practice worksheets. I am able to attach a copy of the worksheet for my students to complete on their own paper at home but would rather they be interactive and submitted back to me, even self-checking, as the digital quick checks.
