eSpark Reviews & Product Details

As a special educator, I love how eSpark puts students on their own individualized paths. They can feel success at their own pace while learning curriculum and standard-based lessons. The students are engaged with fun videos and games. They continue throughout their journey while earning high fives that are a great way to celebrate success in the classroom.

Students can play the same game repeatedly if they want. They can go back or skip through videos quickly if they want. Some of my students need teacher redirection or Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

eSpark is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of teaching ELA. I have used it for two years with my 4th-grade ELA students. I have about 70 kids each year, so I have a very differentiated group. eSpark allows me to have kids working on their level on topics that we need to cover. I also love that I can assign specific assignments to one or all of the students. The assignments are a quick, easy way to check for understanding of the mini-lessons we have covered in class. The students love Wednesday's high five day! They earn stickers for each high five they have earned that week and have turned learning into a weekly contest! Love the high motivation factor here!!!

My problems have been quickly resolved with an email to eSpark. The only thing I would change would be an easier way to reassign lessons that students don't pass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Espark is that it differentiates each student. I teach in a K-6 classroom, and every student has their own path. I also like the ability to assign small group skills to students who need extra work on something or what we do in Tier 1 teaching as a rotation station. My students love getting high fives when they are successful in their quests. They also love the opportunity to make a video and teach the skills they learned.

I have found nothing wrong with Espark. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the differentiation that is possible with using eSpark! I can give my readers what they're ready for. I also love that I can choose skills that we are learning in our classroom lessons, or I can also assign different lessons to meet student needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I have disliked about using eSpark is that there are limited skills to assign in the "Small Group Skills" section. There have also been some glitches - like students finish a task and it isn't marked as finished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

eSpark is easy for students to use and they enjoy using the program. It is not just drill and kill of repetitive skills. It uses a variety of multimedia to teach the concepts. For teachers, it is easy to see what students are working in relation to the standards. It is very standard-specific. It gives you small grouping idea based on the students performance.

When students are taken to a video on YouTube after the video they can click on other nonrelated YouTube videos, so teachers need to monitor this activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the data that was given to me and the recommendations for small-group lessons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the lessons were confusing; read a text and then no directions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The people that work for eSpark are simply wonderful. I was using the program in the early stages, and there were some minor issues here and there. The workers were fast to correct problems and listen to feedback. The program had, and still has, a lot of potentials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost was too much for a small district to handle. Although they were beautiful with my school and gave enormous discounts for the first year, we were just unable to sustain the cost. The other concern would be that there wasn't anything that dynamic that was novel to their program. Several programs do similar things. I am always looking for a unique program that does something different from the rest on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

eSpark has been such a pleasure in the classroom. I feel like I have more control over all aspects of differentiated learning going on with all 25 of my students. This allows me to focus on learning strategies with my small groups and to focus on what each student needs from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truly, there’s not much to dislike about eSpark. If I have a problem, I make a suggestion and they listen. This company is beyond amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

eSpark is the individualized adaptive learning program that we use for the ELL population in our district. It is aligned to state standards and the company also adds each students' test scores to the system so it provides targeted instruction for each child to support our English Language Learners at their level.

Students take a pretest for each skill and if they pass the pretest they automatically move onto the next skill. If students do not pass the pretest, the program automatically provides videos and apps for student to complete so they learn and practice the targeted skills that they need to master. Once students pass the post test, they have to write a script and then they use that script to make a video explaining what they learned. It is very engaging for our students and it does a nice job scaffolding content. Making a video is a great way for my students to practice using English to become more proficient. The visuals and audio support are perfect for our EL's and it provides practice in all four proficiency domains, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students love using eSpark in my classroom and I love how they get to work at their own pace at their own skill level. I even receive reports from the company each week to help guide my instruction. My students are always excited to progress through the many activities to learn new skills and they love making the videos at the end of their learning quest.

I have been using eSpark with my 1st to 3rd grade students for 3 years now. The company has been very responsive to my suggestions over the past 3 years and they continue to make their program better each year. I like how they shortened the amount of time it takes for a student to complete an app or video. I also like how they continually remind students what they should be learning as they move through a learning quest. The company even updated the visuals to be more age appropriate for my 3rd graders. My students are with me only 30 minutes each day so I am limited on how much time I can spend on eSpark. I only wish I had more class time to let my students use eSpark in my classroom each week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
