Want to see students’ eyes light up, filled with excitement while completely engrossed in their work? Then Buncee is definitely the tech tool you need to introduce in your classroom and watch the MAGIC happen. Listen, as a few of my fifth graders share, in their own voice, what Buncee means to them and what a difference it has made in their academic journey this year.
Being a new user, having only accidentally discovered Buncee last year while on Spring Break, I was thrilled to be able to introduce it to my students at the beginning of the year. Wow! What an incredible adventure blossomed with Buncee! My students completely became engrossed in ALL of the possibilities at their fingertips! Their world of creativity now had absolutely NO limits! My students utterly embraced Buncee’s user-friendly canvas and used it in all academic areas when assigned and even when given the option to choose what presentation tool to use.
“I have seen creativity flourish, writing skills enriched, vocabulary skills developed, reading comprehension strengthened, and math concepts explained to peers as professionally as with Khan Academy through creativity with Buncee. These are just a few of the countless benefits Buncee brings to the classroom. The most significant benefit, allowing students the opportunity to use Buncee, is improved outcomes. This makes the decision to use Buncee a key decision that should be entertained for all classrooms.”
