“I am not sure I can limit what I like about this application into one review, but I will try! In a word, it is simply amazing! It engages students on a level that other technology cannot. The environment is perfect for learning because it allows the student to focus on the information being presented. Jam Studio accomplishes this in two ways: first, they make the environment exciting yet not over stimulating, and second, they make the content fun. The students want to have fun, they want to be engaged, and they want to have control of their content. Jam Studio allows all of this to happen. The students have choice, they feel and have control over their own experience. If they want to play the drums they can, if they would rather play a guitar they can. They are not required to follow an adult instruction over what they can play or not. The songs are entertaining and educational at the same time. The students are learning while laughing and moving. I have already seen the success of using music and movement in the classroom, and Jam Studio has the ability to take that concept to the next level because it allows for creative control from the user.”

“Jam Studio is very easy to use right off the bat with little instruction even though it does have a good tutorial. There is a wide variety of activities and in those activities lots of different instruments and sound samplers to play with. This is also a good program for use in all grades as there was elementary content all the way up. Even as an adult I was having fun with it. The ability to play this over multiple grades is a huge plus. I also like this is a music app. I like to see multiple subject matters being represented in the systems we use, and this is an underrepresented area in the big picture of it all. Also, I like this is a game that can be played from a chair or standing. We are finding the need for this more and more.”

“There are many things I enjoyed about Jam Studio VR. First, the application seems very applicable to all styles of learning. The application also has the ability to be used by a wide range of students from preschoolers to high schoolers and encourages the use of all five gross motor skills. Secondly, the educational benefits seem to be very useful. The application implements math in creative ways to help students stay interested in what they are learning about. The application provides frustration release, and at the same time, encourages inclusive play, with interaction with others. Thirdly, there is a variety of lesson plans for different types of students. No matter what type of student a teacher is working with, they will always be able to find a way to help that student learn in the best way possible.
This application could be very beneficial at Oak Grove. There are many students with different learning abilities at my school. This VR application could help encourage kids to actually enjoy what they are learning about, from learning math to learning about different kinds of music. This application would be most beneficial to our middle school.”
