I really liked it! The kids found it super easy to use. The video was waiting from them once they joined my class. I didn't use their answers for grades, since I just wanted them to have focus checks so that they didn't "zone out" during the video. But you can have it autograde the multiple choice questions if you wanted to use it for a grade. I also liked the "rewatch" button. If kids got to the question and didn't get it, they could click rewatch and listen for the answer again. I think the kids got WAY more out of the video than a) just watching it as a class or b) me stopping to ask questions. This meant that every kid was watching it at their own pace and answering the questions, instead of just 1 or 2 answering questions.
My complaint is that several kids had already used their long number for accounts in elementary school. We tried TUSD+lunch pin or just lunch pin. I had several kids that couldn't get anything to work, so I had to create a generic account for kids to share. I think as a district we need to have a consistent account creating username/password convention for things that don't use SSO. Kids don't remember their usernames/passwords from year to year, so teachers need to be able to know what the convention is.
