We have been using it for three years, sometimes as a primary resource and sometimes as a supplement to another program. Even when choosing another program, we keep the DreamBox subscription as a "go to" when the kids are feeling less motivated for book work.” — Fonda, Parent “DreamBox is awesome! My kiddo loves it and looks forward to playing on it. I love that they are learning so much, and that they think it's a game!” — Jules, Parent “DreamBox helps students understand the background information; making them stronger mathematically, conceptually, and helping them fully understand the material. That’s what I like. They’re walking away with a deeper understanding of math.” — Amber, Teacher “DreamBox allows our teachers to really provide in-the-moment differentiation to reach each student where they are.” — Leia, Principal

About

SetAR Augmented Reality Tool

The setAR project deals with health and safety rules as one of its goals is to reduce accidents at construction sites. Earthworks are, unfortunately, one of the most dangerous works carried out on a construction site. Work in the company of heavy machinery, large elevations, or the possibility of landslides are the causes of many fatal accidents. As research shows, employees are not interested in classic training methods. The use of mobile devices (smartphones, tablets), modern AR technology, and supporting multimedia files makes setAR training interesting and memorable.
