ClarkClan Experiences

Vocab Videos had an interesting reaction for our family. I had set up Ben (10) and Sarah (15) as students.  I quickly realized that the videos are definitely geared towards older teens and adults. I was not very comfortable having Ben watch the videos.at his present age.

Maybe it is because we do not watch any of the shows that Vocab Videos parodies, but Sarah had a hard time liking the videos as well. She found a few to be amusing, but for the most part they were not her cup of tea.

One of the features that I liked was on the Educator side, I could track and see what the kids have done. I was able to quickly look up quiz scores, what date the quiz was taken on and the score received. The Educator’s page also had all videos available for viewing.
