Leapfrog in Education


The Leapfrog is a great tool for teachers to use in their classroom. It's a great tool for Early Childhood teachers to use in their classroom to help advance their students learning. It also works well for students that are in Elementary School. Well, what is the Leapfrog??? The Leapfrog is an educational tool that has a pen and a lot of different books that go in the tool. The Leapfrog has these books that include many different activities for different subjects that the students are able to do. Some of these subjects include math, science, social studies and these are just a few of the subjects. The Leapfrog also allows students who don't read very well or who don't read at all to use this tool. The Leapfrog allows the student to be able to press on the words and there is a voice recorded that will say the words for them. This is a great way for students who don't read or who have trouble reading to expand their vocabulary. It also helps to keep students confidence because if they are struggling with a word they will be able to click on the word to help them continue reading. The Leapfrog can be very beneficial for a teacher to use in the classroom. It can help students learn how to read during center times or do any type of activities. This tool can also help students who have trouble participating in front of the class. They can use this tool and it can help them to build up their confidence with certain subjects so then they will feel more confidence and be able to participate in front of their classmates. Overall, I think this is a great tool for teachers to incorporate into their classroom. This tool is on the expensive side but if the school has enough funding or you as a teacher can help to get this tool in the classroom you will see great strides in your students work.
