I searched through the different web sites mentioned in Week 6. My two favorites were Scrible Maps and Kid Zones. I love geography and miscellaneous trivia. I could use the Scrible Maps web site to help students learn distance, especially when we start our Running Club. We could also estimate how long it would take to run across Texas/America if the students combined their miles. In the past, we have kept maps of Texas and marked their progress each week, but with this website, the students could mark themselves.
The Kid Zone website is my favorite. I think students are bombarded everyday with such technical information needed to build higher learning on, that sometimes they need "non-important" trivia. I'm sure all the classroom teachers out there will disagree, and I don't mean to insult their curriculum, but students get bored with the everyday fundamental information. I love asking the students non-important trivia. If they get the answer great, if they don't, good try. Not everything is passing or failing. I think I could use this website everyday to pull information from.
My intent was not to upset anyone with my opinion.....
