Concept Builders 2.0 - a Distance Learning Solution

Our work on Concept Builders Version 2 has continued over the past couple of weeks. We believe that we very close to completion and will be able to announce an "opening day" date very soon. What we think to be our 'last bucket list" was sent to the web design fim this past Saturday. When the estimated 20 hours of work is completed, we will be ready to open our doors. While the web design firm is working on back end changes and interface issues, our developer will be completing Version 2 upgrades for all remaining Concept Builders. (He also claims that it's time for him to get back to producing more Video Tutorials.)

With the Coronavirus-19 spreading rapidly through the United States, many schools are being forced to transition from face-to-face instruction to distance learning plans. This transition raises plenty of questions regarding how to deliver instruction, provide practice, help students, and assess their learning. We have always believed that Concept Builder provided so much support for students as they approached the middle to the end of the learning cycle of a given topic. As such, we believe that Concept Builders can play a vital role iin your distance learning plans. And now wih Version 2, teachers will be able to create accounts and classes, populate the classes with students by inviting students to join the class, and then creating assignments with point values and due dates. And for students, once they log on to the system, the Concept Builder will post their progress to our servers for teachers to view. It's easy. It's simple. And it's effective.

We are inviting anyone and everyone to try Concept Builders, Version 2. We will be announcing opening day here on Facebook and will begin to develop support for its use on our website. Learn more at ...
