I love this, and it is also why I started Stackup (encourage independent reading)
Stackup captures, categorizes, and scores everything you read & learn online.
In the classroom, this means that students can read & learn where they want, and Stackup automatically keeps track (patent pending engagement detection). We even brought in a neuroscientist to help us find out what value this brings to the students, and it is all around passion and interest. Kids learn more when they are interested – makes sense!
I would love Larry and his followers feedback on our free web extension. It was designed to work perfectly on Chromebooks and we have teachers and students using it every day
Thanks,
