Week 14: New Tool: MobyMax

 

MobyMax

MobyMax is a school- wide online learning site that helps with students' development of oral language, reading, spelling, and writing skills for students. Students receive student-driven personalized instruction when using MobyMax, which can greatly benefit their learning. Students work independently through individualized learning activities, just like Lexia. All subjects are included such as science, reading, math, social studies, spelling, and language, and students can work at their own pace. Educators are informed when students pass or fail the lessons so that they are aware of when students need help and/or support.

How MobyMax can be used in the classroom:

- Promotes targeted, individualized instruction

- Blended learning opportunities, if needed

- Offers students some choices and interactive games are provided when they reach a certain score/percentage of correct answers

- Offers teachers useful data and additional resources that cater to students learning needs

What MobyMax provides for educators:

- Formatively assess students without traditional testing

- Provides individualized instruction for students to help meet them where they are

- Helps close learning gaps

Changes for future instruction:

When implementing future instruction, I can use MobyMax not only during free time, but as review lessons when finishing up a certain skill or topic. MobyMax allows educators to push lessons to students as needed, based on grade level and subject/concept of choice. Students can also receive free gear when participating in MobyMax rewards.
