"The very tool designed to level the playing field is, in fact, un-leveling it," they wrote in a 2012 book based on their Philadelphia library study. With the spread of educational technology, they predicted, "the not-so-small disparities in skills for children of affluence and children of poverty are about to get even larger."

The features of ePub Editor allows you to enrich the content with a wide range of interactive exercises (multiple choice, true / false, fill in the gaps, drag & drop, etc.), which are useful for the making of a learning object, not just a simple ebook.

OpenEd makes it easy to differentiate instruction. It also fills in the gaps where the district may not be able to afford resources. I can easily search for all the tools I need to meet the Common Core Standards, and my students are engaged in learning this way.

Thanks joselociruelo. I tried a similar approach two years ago with high school adolescents when by chance I discovered Sheldon's book: 'The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game' (2011) http://goo.gl/7NBlhj . Results then were not as expected, maybe because of my students profile, maybe because of my personal adaptation. Having discovered Classcraft, I'll see if the graphic environment and mechanics fills the gap I couldn't make attractive enough to cover with my own improvised adaptations through PowerPoint slides.

In Africa, there is a huge gap in the use of ICT in Primary Education, that is why am excited to be here to learn and also share my ideas.
