Renaissance myON vs. OT Potential

I teach 5th/6th grade math and science, but I love finding fun books to explain science and math concepts using books that keep the students engaged. I can make sure to give them several options on their reading level to choose from and know I am meeting a majority of my students needs because they can listen to other book be read if they so choose. My students have learned so much from science graphic novels!

Specifically awesome for those who don’t get CEUs from their employer. Really awesome multi modal learning because the article reviews can be accessed in written form, video or audio via a podcast platform. Great tool for private practice owners too because the directory gives visibility and good SEO around your services

Renaissance myON is hands down the best as compared to Epic. I am allowed to consistently monitor my students. I am able to print reports to help evaluate student progress. I can also use these reports during parent/teacher conferences so parents and guardians can see where their student is throughout the year. They are able to see how their interests change along with how the reading level improves.

the topics are more in depth and specific to what I want to be learning about.
