Week 6

Love the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives! I have a smart board and I am so excited to use this site with it! I love the spinners! I did not like the addition one, it seems confusing with the positive and negative number. I really like so many of these! Patterns, pattern blocks, geoboard, it is so cool! Love this site.
Not a huge fan of Kids Zone, but I can use it. We have to come up with a few vocabulary words with definitions each year (for the school) and after 10 years of doing this, it is a little stagnate. So I plan to write ones down that come up that I find interesting or that we have not done. I also like the polls, but my students will not be interested in it at this age.
Googlelit is a great concept, but this site is not as friendly as I would like to see. The books for K-2 are not great books, but good for studying other cultures and places. I would like to see better books listed as the site expands.
I really like the scribblemaps! It is really a great tool to teach the US, distance, mark places I would like to go and why. It seems very easy to use and definitely something I will use.
I tried to go to word sift, but the link or the site is not working.
I really liked the new sites introduced in this lesson. I will definitely be using these in class. Thank you!
