- 1. Math and Reading By: Katie Huston
- 2. My Two Online Apps • First one is for math • This helps the teachers see the progress of the student while the student has fun learning math • This encourages the student to learn in a fun way • It is an easier way of tracking students success and can show the parents the evidence
- 11. Positives • The website has math questions from first grade up to fifth grade • It is a fun way of learning for the student • Tracks progress • It is user friendly • It teaches responsibility
- 12. Downsides • The student only gets 20 questions free a day • If the school wanted to use more questions for assessments, they would have to purchase the software • It could be costly depending how many teachers wanted to use it • The questions are already made up, you cannot make up your own
- 13. My Experience • I found this website for this class • I tested it out on my cousin who is in first grade • She was upset that her 20 questions were up for the day and was excited to play it the next day • She learned new skills that she has not learned in school yet
- 14. Reading • This is a great resource to help with reading and other subjects • I have had experience with this program in high school • I would use this to help boost their reading and spelling levels • I would also allow them to use this website in their spare time
- 19. Positives • • • • • There are a wide range of games There are free plans built in It looks exciting for children There are different levels so it can get harder There are subject levels first grade to eighth grade • It is a free online program
- 20. Downsides • There is no way to track the children's work • They can get easily distracted from what they are supposed to be doing • It may be hard to follow since there are open boxes on the side • Since there are several subjects they may be on the wrong subject
- 21. My Experience • This was an option in my study hall in Junior High and High School • We were allowed to do all subjects • It was something to pass the time yet still educational • As far as I know it was not tracked • This helped reinforce my skills
- 23. Requirements (TPACK) • Technological Knowledge- There is not a lot of knowledge for first through fifth should be able to follow instructions age appropriately • Content Knowledge- It is age appropriate since they are separated by grades • Pedagogical Knowledge- The method of teaching is easy to understand for review
- 24. Requirements (ISTE-S) • Creativity and innovation- They have to do what is required but if they stay on task, they can do extra games • Communication and Collaboration- On the math game, teachers can print off sheets showing how well each student is doing and can share with other teachers and parents. Also, once they get on the same level they can start competing with each other. The reading site would not work as well.
- 25. Continued… • Research and Information Fluency- As the children learn they will be given higher levels to accomplish • Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making- The children will be able to accomplish all of these in order to succeed. • Digital Citizenship- Since everyone has their own password they can not cheat.
- 26. Continued… • Technology Operations and Concepts- The students will be reviewing the material that I have taught in class, but in a different way
- 27. My Resources • https://www.splashmath.com/math-skills/firstgrade/addition/add-using-pictures-within-10 • I would teach the children the math lesson for the day. If the math lesson would follow into one of these categories I would pull the website up on a projector and show the children which games they can play and show them how to. I then would let them get on the website with their computers and let them play these games so they can get extra practice in this subject. • I also could have this as a station if we had inside recess or extra time in the classroom. This will let them have a fun game to play and review what they have learned so they will not forget it.
- 28. Continued… • http://www.coolmath-games.com/1-readingspelling-games-01.html • After we did our reading block for the day I can give the students some time to practice on their own to read. • This can be an option for free time, study hall, and indoor recess.
