Let me strangle you
cwdesabage
Ok this app is fine but it has way to many problems like for example when your using the website some times some arrow comes out of nowhere and deletes all of your work and I hate that and you guys don’t let safari work with you anyway this is a terrible app and I hate it I want to strangle it because it does not work.
It’s too laggy
stuipid test
I only have the app to take pictures of my assignments for other stuff I use the website but every time I use the app my assignment doesn’t post or it sends me out I would totally appreciate if you fix these problems thank you
Worse educational app I ever used
Andy/2003
This app is ok but it’s lags too much, I can’t do school work and that’s not great because I’m very close to failing. It’s also very unpleasant to navigate. Assignments are all over the place it hasn’t just been a problem for me many of my friends who use this application for school have the same problems I have.
Engaging and helpful teaching tool
Elemoon
I've been using Skies to teach high school English and the kids enjoy the app very much. They are more engaged in the lessons and write a lot of responses. This app has helped keep my students engaged and has made English fun for all of them. The students have been giving my class high ratings and attribute my class success to Skies.
Changed my classroom
KMspiker
I use this app to teach everything from chemistry to ap physics c. It has changed the structure of my classroom for the better. Empowering students while enabling me to assess their interaction and learning is easy and effective. I heartily recommend. It works for light use such as making simple presentations to guiding inverted classrooms through the maze of student centered learning.
Fun and powerful tool for classroom collaboration and formative assessment
mbarsever
Fantastic classroom app to facilitate collaboration and learning! My students have greatly benefited from using SKIES in the classroom. It is an easy-to-use, powerful, fun, and flexible tool. Works on iPads and iPhone, and has a web-based option too.
My favorite tool for creating classroom community
MuirRanch
After 4 years, SKIES has had an incredible impact on my teaching and my students’ course satisfaction (7am community college calculus), including for students requesting accessibility accommodations. Despite the time, students find my lessons engaging and will share pictures of their work taken during class, so I can provide instant feedback to my students while they’re in class attempting problems. I started by importing textbook powerpoints and inserting clicker-style questions, but over time replaced them with my own content, which was easy to tailor to my students’ feedback. It’s easy to add wide range of media within the app, so students remain engaged while working through the lesson. Plays nice with other apps and embedding web links so you can link to existing work. Students can also make their own lessons or digital portfolios. Making lessons actually becomes fun and students feel comfortable sharing their work. It helps me build classroom community and bring in a flipped-classroom component to my lecture. Differentiation is built in because students can review and post questions or look ahead and answer other students’ posts, a typical phenomena. which helpful students often do with encouragement. I have worked with the designers along with input from lots of K-12 and college classrooms, so smart protections, distinguishing teacher work, course rosters/sections, and gradebook features give you the ability to grade many forms of participation.
Three dimensional learning...
steamschoolteacher
I utilize this app for special education middle school science and students are able to connect with the cross cutting concepts of the curriculum, practice working collaboratively, present ideas and models, they investigate and research, and have fun doing it because it is an engaging app! It is accessible for students with special needs as they can demonstrate their knowledge with audio, videos, pictures, and/or text(yay! spellcheck). This app allows students to focus on disciplinary core ideas by providing a key tool for understanding and relates to the interests and life experiences of students with their personal postings. For a teacher, this app is great because it's easy to put lessons together in one place and easy to assess students. A+
Excellent with one possible improvement
Hilary makes my heart go...
I think this app is wonderful! The only thing it lacks is notifications! Teachers and students should be given the option to turn notifications on when someone posts something, asks a question or answers a question, etc. Sometimes when there is a lot it can get hard to track who posted what where! It becomes tedious to have to tap through all the different tabs to see if there is something new posted.
