From Teachers using ThinkCERCA
"ThinkCERCA is the first program I’ve used that meaningfully integrates technology into a literacy classroom. My classroom’s focus is around reading and writing, and ThinkCERCA allows me to purposefully differentiate and scaffold articles and ideas for individual student needs while maintaining a uniform conversation at the class-wide level about a topic or skill."
