Education Galaxy – Amazingly Effective

This blog post is sponsored by Education Galaxy but all opinions are my own.

Engaging students in fun educational content is a challenge. Students, parents, and teachers are bombarded with apps and programs to weed through. Most of those are NOT based on the appropriate state standards thereby giving the teacher and parent no way to know how well a student is performing.

You’re going to love Education Galaxy. Education Galaxy is driven by state standards. Teachers and staff will be impressed with the ease of use of the program. Teachers may upload students individually or upload the entire class in one swoop through the integration of a spreadsheet. One and Done!

How many web based programs have been implemented in your school or district containing a support/help portal containing only videos? I’d venture to say none. Educational Galaxy Tutorials contain only EIGHT short videos covering everything needed to successfully launch the alien invasion in your classroom. Classrooms will be up and running in no time.

Students begin by taking the diagnostic test for math, language arts, reading, and science depending on the grade level. After completion, Education Galaxy creates the INDIVIDUALIZED learning program for each student. No two will be alike.

The reporting function of Education Galaxy is phenomenal! View individual students, the class, by subject or topic, by standard strand, the amount of time each student (or class) has logged, and tons more. Specific data can be found for everything!

Teachers and administrators have concrete data for student placement and for progress reports. Parents can see EXACTLY what content should be practiced more at home for a well rounded education.

My favorite feature is the Assessment Builder. Teachers can create an assessment tailored to specific content being covered in class with the test bank from each strand of the standard. Create a semester exam with more than one subject!

How do the students like Education Galaxy?

Students love Education Galaxy because it is LOADED with grade appropriate content and images. Oh My Goodness, the images are BEAU-TI-FUL!

Students progress through their own content responding to questions. After each correct question, students play a short game accumulating points and progressing through the alien ranks…so cute!

So, I went through the program as a first grade student, no matter what I did, one game just was not in my wheel house! I couldn’t do it at all, crashed every time. I elicited the help of real live first graders who were pros at each and every game tossed at them. Grrrrr!

I asked the kiddos to not read the questions and just pick an answer to see what would happen. Believe me, I really had to coax them! Education Galaxy alerts the students when they are moving too quickly through the question. Education Galaxy must have a timer running in the background as a deterrent to Christmas treeing through….yippee.

Missed questions are immediately explained to the student showing how to solve the math problem, or talking through the process of reaching the proper response.
