PLUSES:
4th and 5th graders really enjoy using it!
No email addresses needed
Works well
Easy to administer
CONS:
Full install on home computers---this was somewhat of a problem on both
PC/MAC platforms
We wound up making CDs for kids to take home (this was OKd by Sunburst
first)
A few parents could not do the install so there was lots of emails and phone
calls
One parent sent in their laptop and we did the install!
