Frequently Asked Questions
What is Capstone announcing today with Buncee?
Capstone is pleased to announce they have acquired Buncee, a creation and communication tool for students and educators to create interactive classroom content, allowing learners of all ages to visualize concepts and communicate creatively.
Why is Capstone acquiring Buncee?
Capstone is acquiring creator platform Buncee to extend its digital capabilities in the classroom to better serve the needs of elementary educators and students. Initially, Capstone will continue offering Buncee as a standalone product; plans for integrating Buncee tools across Capstone’s digital products are already underway, starting with its award-winning PebbleGo, the go-to digital resource for K-2 literacy and research. Capstone plans to have a PebbleGo-plus-Buncee solution ready for classroom use in early 2022.
Pairing Capstone’s collection of trusted curriculum-aligned content with Buncee’s intuitive creator tools will make it possible for young learners to “read and create.” The move directly advances Capstone’s mission of helping kids succeed by making learning fun. Now, students will have a creative outlet for sharing their ideas and expressing their understanding of educational content.
With about 40% of U.S. elementary schools already using Capstone content, the investment further solidifies Capstone’s presence in K-2 and is emblematic of Capstone’s unwavering commitment to meeting the needs of educators and young learners.
Where does this acquisition now place Capstone in terms of the marketplace?
Capstone excels at creating engaging learning experiences whether in our traditional print books or in our award-winning PebbleGo database. We make it easy for educators to find what they need and for students to have success. Adding the ability for students to create based on the Capstone content they read increases their excitement and engagement and allows educators to validate that students can demonstrate their understanding.
Are there any changes to my Buncee subscription? Changes to any of my Capstone products?
No. We are working on future enhancements with Capstone digital products to operate more seamlessly with Buncee, but there are no changes to any current subscriptions or product offerings.
