Technology should be a help for teachers in the classroom, not a hindrance. For all the boasts of new computer software for teaching and learning, every teacher knows that it can often just become yet another thing they have to deal with on top of marking, planning and everything else they’re expected to do every day. Any teacher also knows that software use with parents and students can often lead to them assuming the job of tech support worker as well as educator. Sometimes it seems easier to just forego the “great new thing” and go on teaching the way that you know works already.
CARS & STARS Online is a digital reading comprehension program based around the repeated application of twelve core reading strategies to make students better readers who can analyse and interpret any text at a high level of understanding. The multi-level program is designed to be entirely paper-free, with all student answers being entered directly into the software, and results being instantly recorded and corrected automatically, requiring no teacher marking. It also removes the need for students to remember their workbooks or homework at school the next day.
The CARS & STARS program is designed to work on any relatively modern device, with options to enable and disable certain higher-quality features on slower or older hardware for maximum compatibility and usability. It also works anywhere with an internet connection, is transferable between home and school, and doesn’t require all your bandwidth to run.
There’s no special requirements or additional hardware needed. The entire program is designed to make using it as simple and straightforward as possible, so teachers and students alike can focus on what’s most important for them – teaching and learning.
