Weaknesses

 * does not give you a formal introduction to the program (no tutorial, how to, etc.)
 * many of the more interesting sections of this program require you to upgrade (and pay) to receive every aspect of the program

Threats
 * The internet doesn't always work and sites are sometimes offline for maintenance

Ideas For Your Classroom

 * teachers can create an account and use the share to help students stay on task or share with parents
 * For those students who have special learning needs, this can be used a cognitive organizer to better schedule daily classroom activities.
 * Can be used as a daily agenda for the class, if projected.
 * students can share tasks with each other to help keep everyone on track for the classroom
 * students can bring in their own hand-book to share their goals with their fellow classmates (maybe do this 3 times a year to see if the student is staying on track and accomplishing his/her goals)
 * Use the Statistics program to map out graphs of how many students are accomplishing their goals or tasks (utilizes meaningful learning)
 * start up a class forum to have your students respond to a question about their individual tasks and goals
