fun for them - feedback for you
Sortegories provides activity-specific built-in content help, glossaries, and corrective feedback. A few features are used in all activities. These features help to create a fun, interactive experience for the users, while providing valuable feedback for educators.
Giving kids a reason to try is important. As a fun incentive, Sortegories users choose a pet — a dog or a cat — to feed for every correct answer.
Users can feed one pet at a time or all of them at once. Getting answers right means more pets to feed and more fun for the users.
Sortegories users receive ribbons to indicate mastery-level performance: 100% earns a blue ribbon. 90% earns a red ribbon. 80% earns a gold ribbon.
A blue ribbon means 100%.
GREAT JOB!
