Learning with Games and Simulations Assignment 7B

Discovery Life

This game would be a great resource for a science classroom. It's interactive and fun, and is engaging for students.

Animal Arcade

This game would also be very informative to use in a science classroom. It's fun, easy to use and engages students.

Concept Map

Concept Map


Concept maps can be used in a variety of different ways. I think concept maps would be especially beneficial for students to use when studying. It's a great way to organize information and use pictures to enhance concepts.

Wordle

I would use wordle for voacbulary before a test. It highlights important words and leaves out information that is less important. I would also use this in Language Arts when reading a story. Wordle would be a great study tool because it only highlights significant words. Our class website states that Wordle is useful for ELL and special education students becuase it take only the most important words and puts them together in a fun and creative way.

Assignment 8: Voicethread

I think that I could use a voicethread in many different ways in the classroom. My example is an "about me" voicethread. I think this is a great way to get to know students. You could have students complete an about me voicethread at the beginning of the year and allow them to present them to their classmates. The voicethread  meets the standard to design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. Voicethread is a great tool for designing and developing original pieces of work using the internet. I like this website because it incorporates images, sounds and words to tell a story.
