2009/07/31 Differentiation Part 2- Website reviews

I realize that I have website reviews all over the place here and I will organize this all in one post later. But for now here are some additional sites from Week 6 in Differentiation Supported by Technology.

 Primary Games Rating:5 This is a great site. Lots of interactive games and activities based on a variety of subjects. Very colorful and almost too much to choose from. A nice feature though is the Teacher Curriculum Guide that helps teachers find games or activities on the site to match curriculum. There are worksheets to print out and games to play. Many of the games would be good to use on a SmartBoard.

I Know That Rating: 5 Again, another great site with curriculum connections. The teacher guide helps teachers match activities to the subject content. Colorful, fun, easy to navigate around the site.

One important note for most of the game sites. You need to make sure your computer has all the current updates or many of the games will not run properly. Shockwave is used in many games and you don't want to have to wait to download or update these before playing. So check before you explore especially if you have students waiting to play.
