I love it. Use it as a resource for our projects, and daily lessons and content learning. Utilize the content for our testing and teaching TEKS. I think it is an outstanding program and would like to use it more.

They read/listened to it 20-30 minutes. They retained the knowledge. For my ELL class, I had my Spanish speakers listening to the lesson in Spanish while I was teaching from the reading in English. It was fantastic. They FINALLY looked engaged and excited.
