Here is thoughts on Grockit.com
- Grockit is a live online multiplayer game providing test prep.[8] It offers interactive play with other people studying for the same test.[9]  It works to integrate elements of artificial intelligence with its services to adapt to students' unique needs.[10] 
- Grockit believes that people learn better through peer-to-peer situations instead of teacher-to-student, and they are building their companies’ products around this idea
 the Good: 
 a/ They got great CEO ... who built HYD school 
 a/ started by passionatae founder
 b/ good Vally VCs behind it  raised 18 million
 c/ great for  GMAT, CAT etc.  competitive test prep , great value for $30/month ..
 c2/ same Academy is also for $30/month ..
 c3/ see PIC below : GMAT Prep. Test Score progress  , it is good to have this kind of Dashboard
Not so good
 d/ OK for  K12 math etc.. ( do they have physics ? )
  e/ not so good for primary education
  f/ still use Falsh ( lots of bandwidth , they may chanage to HTML5 later )
  g/  Content look dull , pale on Algebra Test ...


Pic 2: Grockit.com 'Algebra II practice ' . It has 3 panes  , problem/solution/Reference panes.  Ref. pane has links to KhanAcademy Youtube videos .
