Speak Agent version 2.0.0 loads everything faster. Much faster. It also fixes a number of minor issues. We've listed just the ones you'll notice the most.
Issues Fixed in This Release
For students:
- The color picker for highlighting in Read Along always displayed the same color. Now you can choose from four colors.
- Long lesson titles on the home page of students in grades 6 & up were truncated. We have added space so they display more fully.
- Added loading icons for anything that does not load immediately.
- Matching game displayed the wrong score at the end of each game, now fixed.
For teachers:
- Consolidated duplicate word rows in the Lesson Reports.
- Improved the Assign Lessons search so that the search results don't jump around constantly.
- Did we mention that everything loads faster?
Coming Soon
Next, we are changing the Math Puzzle Maker to make it clearer how to submit a puzzle for teacher review. In the meantime, please see this article if your students are having trouble submitting a puzzle. (They are just missing one easy step...)
As always, if you have ideas about how we can improve Speak Agent, please contact us.
We are listening!
