Online Educational Games For Teachers & Students

I have been utilizing Legends of Learning for a few years. I absolutely love this resource. I assign playlist as part of homework to reinforce lessons for students. I currently have a playlist for summer reinforcement of skills. This resource was incredibly useful during the pandemic to keep students engaged.

The scores on our Science SBAC test went up by 8% last year. I only had the students from January until April. I had them on Legends of Learning as much as I possibly could. I attribute the increase in scores to the content from this site!

My seventh-grade students loved legends of learning! I love seeing them so engaged in science games especially since they are learning or reviewing knowledge with every game. There are so many games for each standard and so many different types of games that each student always finds at least one they like. One of the best features is being able to see who is online and how far they have gotten it is a great way to check their progress and engagement!

Last year I had a 90% pass rate and this year we improved to 92%. What makes this data even more amazing is we have a large population of special ed students on my team this year and last year we had none! The biggest jump was in my pass advanced rate - it increased from 38% to 41% and 12 students had perfect scores! 15 of my students have IEPs and all of them passed the test. Our building went up from 87% pass to 91% in fifth grade. I think the numbers are amazing with our large special ed population!

I believe a lot of it is due to the work students did in LOL throughout the year to help review and reinforce 4th and 5th grade material.

I am happy to say the least.

Legends of Learning games provide a great opportunity for students to learn about content. I have used it as an incentive tool to supplement instruction after students have completed an activity. This has eliminated down time in my classroom. Students are engaged, motivated to complete assignments, and even play on their own time!

I had a class where some of my students have intellectual disabilities. My students with intellectual disabilities all passed the end of year state standardized exam. I am convinced it was because of their engagement with the content and they were made to feel familiar with the vocab related to these standards through the games. Mahalo!

My students loved the games!!! I am currently doing summer school and I am also able to use the games. The students don't seem to realize that they are actually learning about Science!!!

The students have so much fun playing the games, yet they forget that they are being "tested". They just jumped right in. I love that they also collaborate and are engaged with each other. They give tips and suggestions for other students who are struggling at a certain level and help them advance to the next levels. I love that I am able to collect data on the questions to see where they are still struggling or which ideas they are proficient at.

The responsiveness of the support makes all the difference. It is one of the great things about LoL. Baby steps, ease of use, and ongoing support. That is how you get teachers to use tech.
