“I started using Curipod at the end of our 8th grade year. All of sudden, students were once again engaged and actively learning, and entered the classroom excited to see what we would be doing that day. They absolutely love that they can share what they’ve learned … because everyone feels included and proud of their work. The classroom transformed into a happy, collaborative environment when using Curipod. I can’t wait to introduce it to my next group of eight graders and see the magic happen again and again!” Jen Lynn
