When & Where?

It is intended that Rapstar be used both publicly- in schools, daycares, after school programs etc. and privately- in ones own home on their own Apple devices. Apple products are very portable which means that the opportunities to interact with the app are endless!
In our case studies the teaches that we spoke with seemed to think that this would be a great supplement to the standard English time that the children have each day in school. Additionally, they felt that it would be a very effective tool to use as one of the “centers”- the group rotations that the children move through for a designated period of time each day. The app provides a great way for children to review aspects of English learned in prior years to remain current and ready for standardized tests etc. without using the teacher’s most valuable resource-time.
Students use the first version of Rapstar that we brought into the class.
