I am the Foreign Language Coordinator and an Instructor of Spanish at Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City, MO. I have been using the text Exploraciones since it was in a custom edition well before its national debut.

In the past, I spent hours grading simple exercises and gathering student feedback. MindTap is the perfect solution for students to receive immediate feedback on their activities. I had no idea what other features were in store, and I have loved integrating more and more technology into my classes over time!

I honestly do not consider myself technologically savvy, so the fact that I am able to use MindTap with such ease is a testimony to how easy this digital product is to learn. The content is wonderful, and there are so many resources that guide students in their language learning. When I was considering integrating a digital product into my classes, I asked myself, "What difference will this make in student learning?" If the digital tool doesn't make a difference in learning, it is just another gadget or toy. But MindTap has been incredibly useful to me and my students.
