This year at ISTE 2017, I had the opportunity to sit down with School Specialty to discuss three of their great learning solutions for K-12 students. For the last 50 years, their digital delivery system called Wordly Wise has been a leader in building vocabulary for students of all grade levels. Recently released, the i3000 system provides an easy to use teacher directed instructional platform that ties both teachers and students together during the lesson while providing social opportunities for students to share what they have learned.
