Blinklearning is the evolution of the old backpack with 6 books that weighed more than ten kilos and that every day, children from 20 years ago carried on their backs to class. Now thanks to Blinklearning, we have managed to evolve by taking advantage of today's technologies in hardware, software, and intercommunication through networks and the cloud. The advantages of this application are: - Digital online books, which teachers can access and project with a light beam on a screen in the classroom and each student from their device and follow along as the explanations proceed. - Possibilities to add notes, drawings, and highlights. - Helps keep students engaged and motivated without getting distracted by the computer. - Possibility to study from anywhere with a connection, from your smartphone, tablet, or desktop PC. - Intuitive and easy-to-use interface. - Healthier backs by not having to carry all the books every day.

- It consumes a lot of resources, old devices may experience performance issues to support smooth navigation through digital books.
- Taking a book from physical to digital is a long task, which if not offered by the publisher, you will find very tedious to do.
- If you don't have internet and haven't enabled the offline reading option, you won't have access to the books.
I can't say much more negative about this tool because I only see advantages. Although, as with any application, maintenance is essential to patch security holes, fix bugs, and introduce improvements, such as being able to conduct a test scheduled by the teacher at the end of each lesson. Although for that, we can complete it with Kahoot or Quiz. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a teacher, it is important to be constantly evolving our methodology and techniques, in this modern world we are living in, enabling quality digital content for our school might be a somehow, challenging experience. However, people from Blinklearning have made it possible and incredibly intuitive, when I got to use the software in one of the institutions I had the pleasure to work for, kids were constantly engaged and motivated to do all the tasks, as it was interesting for them having their books digitally accesible in their ipads and pc's. The interface is very easy to use and intuitive, and as a teacher, its extremely easy to set up activities and checking them, online and offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not really have any negative comment to make about this tool, of course there is always room for some improvement, but again, I am more than confident they will be continuously improving the platform, providing institution with quality service at a reasonable price.
