I really didn’t have too many problems with T4L. The hardest part for me has been that I can only get it to work in troubleshooting mode, and that’s a hassle, and I have to turn off my security to access the site at all. I DON’T like that part. But so far, that’s the only thing I had to get help with. I like that I have choices in how to access each subject and lesson, and that I’m able to cover a wide range of grade levels on each subject. 

Has anyone else had problems with the lessons, where it’ll go all the way to the end, and it tells you to click on ‘go forward’, and it won’t let you? He’ll click on it, but it just keeps telling him to click on it, but he is! Often, the only way we can get out of the screen is to go back to the beginning, then the work he’s just done has to be done all over again. He hates repetition, so I go through and answer it for him again instead of making him do it all over. It’s frustrating, and I don’t know why it does this. It’s not all the time, but often enough to be a pain.

This week Tim’s learning about fractions, but really it’s just review. We covered these before Christmas break and he understood them, but I wasn’t using T4L yet. This site is great for those of us that write our own curriculum, because it neatly ties it all in together. I put him on the Equal/Not Equal section and turned to help my friend’s son with his workbook, and next thing I know Tim’s telling me he’s ready for the quiz! He’s doing more and more on his own now, and that is SUCH a boost to his self-confidence. Up until recently, he’s wanted me right next to him in case he needed help.
