I am on a committee whose job is to pick a stand alone program for our computer lab. We were provided no information about the possible options. Through some research we have discovered, Education City, Compass Odyssey, and Study Island. We had Plato but it did not work in our district. It had too many problems in our lab. Is anyone using any of the above mentioned programs? Opinions please... I thought there were many out there and am finding out there are not many choices. We do not have a computer teacher. We take our students to the lab. We have a para who helps keep the lab running. Any info is greatly appreciated as we are twiddling our thumbs. I have posted on few boards as I really need your help.

We just purchased Compass Odyssey this year. I have enjoyed it. It is helpful because you can assign one topic to the whole class or pick and choose topics for individual students.

Our district uses Compass. I have found it easy to use and the students like it, too. We had a consultant from Compass who showed us the ins and out of the program. It is easy to differentiate the assigned lessons to meet the needs of the class. Reports can be generated to track each student's progress. Also the program is aligned with our state standards and NWEA. Personally, I like the program.

We use Brainpop in our computer lab.
