Assignment 5

I think Wikis could be an very useful tool teachers and students because it would give teachers the opportunity to interact with students in many different ways. Teachers would be able to help his/her students with assignments and homework ouside of the classroom. Wikis are also a very tool useful tool when it comes to having students doing interactive activities in class, through giving instructions, posting resources, and discussing problems they may have. Wikis should be a part of every teacher's instructional tools to help further the education of the students.

Assignment 6

The website I used was funbrain and I played a game called math popper. I actually played the game with my two younger sisters. They are 6 and 10 years old and they were both familiar with the website and the game because it was something they did at school. The 10 year actually did better than me. She could do the calculations faster and so she advanced levels faster. Even the 6 year old made it to level 6. I liked that the game taught them how to do the calculations in their head and to do them quickly. I think having that ability is valuable and its good they are learning at a young age.
