Testimonials

I loved putting together the WebQuest. I think this is a great way to prepare kids for the future -- Paragon Student from California

I learned some valuable ways to differentiate the process and content of projects for students. The articles filled me with hope that education will move away from creating robotic students with standardized testing to innovative, engaging, relevant, project-based learning that meets individual students’ needs and interests while building twenty-first century skills and collaborative thinking. Paragon Student from Nevada

There are so many tools one can use online to engage all different kinds of learners. It is a great way to differentiate for all students. -- Paragon Student from Ohio
