Evaluation:
In this program students learn English in a fun, entrataining and easy way. Teacher can assess their students with the student’s reports that are available. Teachers will know in which area the students need reinforcing. I will try to use this program in my future classroom because it is very animated, students can interact while learning, working at their own pace and it is very user friendly.

Nice review. It does look like a good program. Was this the one where it was just a DVD giving an overview of the program? If so, its too bad they didn't give us software so we could actually try it out.
