This app was created by Brayden Matsko, Braden Decker’s boyfriend (a software engineer who specializes in educational technology applied to enterprise environments). It’s designed to facilitate a lesson, but also to show intentional technology use in the classroom.

Review is designed to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, a step beyond that requirement. That includes:
Despite Brayden’s involvement, this application was not designed or endorsed by the Learning Technology Center (ltcillinois.org (opens in a new tab)). The Learning Technology Center (LTC) helps Illinois schools use technology well, with professional learning, events, and support for educators.
