The Speak Agent team worked hard over the summer to make your teaching experience even better by adding new academic language learning games and new features. These new games and features will be available for customers who upgrade to Speak Agent Pro, which is our paid tier of service. The existing practice activities and features will still be available with our free "Basic" tier. You can compare Basic vs. Pro tiers here.
Here's a summary of the new learning games:
We've also added a new user management feature for account administrators to manage their roles and permissions.
Soon we will also push a major release with a whole new reporting tool that I'm sure you will love, whether you are a teacher, principal, or district administrator. It gives you all the information you need to see student progress and trouble spots with academic language − without having to be a data scientist to figure it out! In fact, we're already capturing the learning analytics that feed these reports in every game and activity. This feature is also part of Speak Agent Pro.
