Week 7
1. I really enjoyed visiting all of these sites! Thinkfinity is a really good site that I will pass on to parents so they can enjoy it with their students at home. I will be using it to find lesson plans!
KidPix Delux is also great. I enjoyed looking at the 1 project that was appropriate for Kindergarten. I think they could do the project by the end of the year. Wordle was interesting. It could also be used in Kindergarten once they begin to spell words- rhyming words would be fun for the students to do. I was unable to do a wordle because of the firewall on this computer but I did try. Terraclue was a lot of fun and a great way to use the computer to find information and to practice using maps. I could do a simple hunt for the Kindergartners but they would need someone to read the clues to them.
2./3. I am responsible for the lessons in the computer lab for my class. I can see that it would be possible to use many of these sites in the lab with my class. They will definitely enjoy Kid Pix!
