Beginning January 2022, students using iPads for eSpark will be transitioning from accessing eSpark via our own native iOS app to a web-based version of eSpark in the browser. This new way of accessing eSpark will still contain all of features teachers and students know and love including engaging games and videos, differentiated instruction, and student video recordings.
