Blog 10- Star Fall

-

 For my next post, I will be talking about Starfall. Star Fall is an engaging and fun website with many games for children to play to practice different skills used in school. The skills range from math to reading. Starfall also has a variety of fun games relating to the seasons and Special days! I remember using Starfall when I was in elementary school, however, they have kept up to date on their program! Personally, I can see myself using this in my future classroom especially because it is easy to set up and use! This website does not even require accounts for the children or the teachers. I also find this tool to be versatile in the subjects it covers and the grades it caters to. I think Starfall would be a great technology to incorporate into the LAT lesson plan Framework. This could be a fun and engaging website to use to reinforce what is being taught in class!

    Hi Madi, I saw this on one of the lists in the powerpoint and was debating on whether to check it out. I personally would use this as extra resource for my student's families to use at home, but not something I would use in the classroom.

 Go Noodle is the next technology I am going to cover! This one can be found in Dr. Wang's PPT on the informational slide. Go Noodle is a website that provides fun and educational videos for kids. These videos are created to help kids stay active, learn new things, and have fun at the same time! The videos on Go Noodle cover a wide range of topics, from math and science to music and dance, and are suitable for students of all ages. This website is free to use and can even be used to aid in lesson planning or as supplementary materials in your own lesson plans. I think that this website is very easy to use and would be great for all ages. I think this could be not only used for learning but for incorporating brain breaks into the classroom. I could see myself using this tool in my future classroom. We recently discussed the SAMR framework. I think this could easily fit into the substitution category. I think that Go Noodle can be a substitute for Google in a way. When looking for ed

 The next technology I want to talk about is cool math games. Cool Math Games is a website featuring games and puzzles for kids and teenagers. The games are designed to be educational and fun and cover a range of topics including math, logic, strategy, and more. I think that this is a very easy tool to use as it does not require any sort of account to use, however, there are games that some teachers might not see as educational. It is up to the students and the teacher to use this tool responsibly. I think Cool Math Ganes would be good for higher elementary school students. I think that this would be great for use in the TPACK framework when discussing technological knowledge in a lesson plan!  https://www.coolmathgames.com/1-number-games
