CompassLearning is software that every teacher should consider. After reviewing the software we are convinced that we will be using CompassLearning Odyssey in our classroom. CompassLearning Odyssey covers the following content areas: reading/language arts K-8, story creator K-2, writing 3-12, math K-8, algebra, social studies 2-8, English as a Learned Language K-Adult, intervention 9-12, advanced AP 9-12. There is almost nothing that this software can’t teach! The software encompasses tutorial lessons by using differentiated instruction, drill and practice, simulation, instructional games, and problem solving. Through these means of teaching, CompassLearning Odyssey ensures that the web-based curriculum addresses state standards to assist teachers in using best practices. The technology “provides interactive, self-paced, challenging, and engaging activities. Project-based activities promote exploration, individual and cooperative learning, problem solving, reflection, and real-world connections. Odyssey applies the latest in brain research about how student think and learn. It stimulates students’ minds and increases achievement.” (CompassLearning Odyssey – Educational Solutions 2006)
