I must say, I'm not a fan. I can see why if you were ELA or math it could be really useful. Every time I used it, we were plagued with problems. Logging in was not easy, joining my class was not easy, creating the assignments was not easy. My kids struggled with the login interface. It was not super intuitive, and I think younger kids would struggle the first few times they used it. If they used it daily, I'm sure they would become more familiar. I also didn't really want to assign a standard to mine since it was a reflection and didn't really fit; but Edulastic requires you to assign a standard.

For my class, I think Classkick or GoFormative or Socrative or Kahoot would work better. Edulastic is more formal and standards based, and I don't think I would use it again. I would suggest it to ELA or math teachers. I know one of our ELA teachers said that it showed the passage next to the questions, which was a particularly useful tool for them. Also, core content areas have a lot of question banks that you can add from, which could be useful to other teachers.
