Connect

Pros: When I first went to the training I was very excited about it. When I tried to assign to my students, it did not work for us. I tried to get help and still was not able to use the product. This is where I am right now.

Cons: When we got ready to use it, would not work for us. I looked for help and until this day I am not able to use it.

Pros: Il fiore all'occhiello di Sanako Connect sicuramente sta nelle potenziali attività di esercitazioni da portare avanti per perfezionare le abilità di produzione, interazione e comprensione orale. Inoltre, poter usufruire della piattaforma per la didattica dell'interpretariato consente agli studenti di svolgere esercitazioni guidate, ma anche autonome, quindi un'ulteriore risorsa per aumentare le loro competenze tecniche e linguistiche.

Cons: Ci sono alcuni elementi che speriamo possano essere migliorati quanto prima: la possibilità di salvataggio della bozza su server, in maniera tale da evitare perdita del materiale in caso di black out. Sarebbe anche gradita la gestione separata di alcune funzioni che sono concepite solo come di gruppo (quali, ad esempio, collect). Questo, per consentire la gestione di una singola prova anche mentre la classe è impegnata in un'attività. Viceversa, sarebbe utile poter avere come docenti la possibilità di fare il download di tutte le prove in un solo click, senza dover andare su ogni singolo studente. In questo caso, specialmente in caso di esercizi valutati con gruppi numerosi, il lavoro del docente verrebbe agevolato notevolmente.

Pros: User friendly. Lots of support from vendor.

Cons: I did not see the difference with other similar tools. Some students indicated that they had difficulties logging in with the same username and had to create another one.

Pros: The most impactful feature is how easy it is to use.

Cons: I like everything about it. My use might be minimal, but for my immediate purpose it is the best tool that I have.

Pros: It has some neat features but I was not able to use it. Not user friendly.

Cons: Only one time at the beginning of the year I was able to get one student to record from cell phone. Non compatible with laptops.Poor

Pros: very easy to use , and has a lot of self material

Cons: overall I'm very happy and I can't think of anything I don't like about this software

Pros: It is easy to use with Google classroom. It was like being in an actual language lab. Grading was also made easy... I felt students progressed in language learning.

Cons: I just need more practice and write more assignments .. hoping I will have time this summer to be better prepared for in person learning. Away with the online learning!!!

Pros: The ability to check student work in real time and provide feedback. The excellent customer service.

Cons: How could you integrate some features of nearpod and peardeck on your platform, allowing me to create a presentation with multiple checks for understanding that you already offer.

Pros: The audio and recording features. The quality.

Cons: The extra steps. Look at the College Board accessibility features on their AP classroom.

Pros: I didn't have any trouble getting into the account and liked the idea of being able to post audio files in there. It seemed to me that this was the biggest advantage of this software, the potential use of audio files.

Cons: This software didn't make a strong impression on me. I couldn't see any clear advantage of using it overall. I would not say the same about This is Language, which seems much preferable to it for all things not related to posting audio files. (Posting audio files wasn't really going to be successful in the context I was working in this year. That is why I didn't really try out that aspect of your software)

Pros: The ability to let students listen and record themselves and compare their pronunciation with correct pronunciation.

Cons: It is very NOT user friendly. I have to Google answers to find out how to make it work.

Pros: Good features I like the most are the ability of the students to record themselves and leave audio samples. I feel like you are only limited by your creativity and how to use this product. If given enough time to truly craft engaging provoking templates and lessons I feel I could use this product full maximum potential.

Cons: Some aspects that I like the least are the fact that exercises cannot be ordered on the fly. You cannot place them in a session in any particular order. That's a limitation in my view. Secondly the voice chat feature is a bit complicated. I like the idea of grouping students together whether they were in the class or at home asynchronously and having them be able to communicate and talk with one another but in practice. I encountered a lot of feedback and it was difficult. perhaps if there was some master ability to mute.selected students.

Pros: good in functions of feedback and exercises

Cons: I am not so familiar with it in group work in class. Sometimes with sound problem.

Pros: It gives students more opportunities to practice the target language

Cons: It is not as simple as it seems to be. Trying to learn how to use it while navigating the world of synchronous and asynchronous teaching environments was a challenge.

Pros: It is user-friendly. There is no fear of messing up at all. There are ways to correct /autocorrect any mistakes.

Cons: I do not have any, but at times it can get a bit busy.

Pros: It is compatible with Google Classroom. It is not difficult to load lessons to Google Classroom.

Cons: My students would not use it the software. They did not want to record themselves speaking aloud.

Pros: Tthe actual core functions and applications of Sanako are great for my classes. I highly recommend Sanako.

Cons: The program takes some time to get accustomed to using as it is not the most intuitive user interface and on occasion the cloud goes down (happened to my class on two different days but only lasted a few hours).

Pros: This tool is great to evaluate speaking to our language learners.

Cons: It is not super easy to use, and with students in person and virtual at the same time, showing at any point during the class period make it very difficult to use it and for them to follow the instructions.

Pros: I liked the fact that it was easy for my students to access and use once I was able to figure out how to use the software.

Cons: I didn't enjoy learning how to use the software. It made it difficult to implement into my classroom while I figured it out.

Pros: The easiness to use. The features a pretty good and a most to learn a new language

Cons: Well, maybe because it has not been as popular with students

Pros: Students can record as many times as they want, before submitting

Cons: Graphics are not attractive to students, they think it is boring, compared to other platforms.

Pros: I really enjoy having sessions for my students where they needed to work with a group or partner.

Cons: For group selecting, it did took me awhile to get ready for every class.
