Touch Curriculum

Until you try it yourself and see how engaged students become, you won't fully realize how the tablet changes the nature of learning with touch. MobyMax is the first touch curriculum made for the tablet. There simply is an enormous difference between reading about a concept and touching the concept.

What Else Can MobyMax Do?

Teachers can use MobyMax as a classroom management tool by assigning good or bad vibes in which the parents can also see.
Teachers can assign lessons based on what they are currently working on in class to reinforce student mastery.
