Game

Today, I tried different kind of games. each game provides different knowledge, you can study the knowledge from the game. I like play game, most time i can remember what is in the game, like a picture, a song or a story. I think the game can help our children to study  knowledge, so i call this is happy studying.

  But, I think we can not rely on the game. now most game does not have clearly grading，we do not know the game really fit for our children, and now we need a profession department to develop and watch the content about the game, then we can make sure the game give us a positive effect

Chapter 7

The chapter 7 discuss educational software supports and  promotes problem solving and inquiry learning for students from kingdergarten to the twelfth grade. the text book introduce many educational software like Scratch. This is an electronic toolkit that enables students to make their own games, animated stories, and interactive art. I try to play the games from the scratch website, most games I can get the topic and learning information very clearly, I expect most of them are very interesting. I believe the game can attract children's attention in the classroom.

 I remember a game which uses be very popular on iphone, the name is WORDS WITH FRIENDS, building words and get score with your friends, the students can play this game and remember the new words and review the old words, easy to use, easy to play and multiple devices supported.

  The chapter 6 discusses the Education website resource, we can use these website for future teaching. Using the teaching  website we can communicate with other teachers, exchange different teaching idea and problem. The website give us more idea to develop our lesson plan.

  the text book introduces some websites, most of them share the lesson plan, some teachers experience, and  comment. These resource are very useful for us, I got some ideas for webquest.

 I found a website which can supply many patterns of lesson plan and teaching process : Sites for teachers
You can find lesson plan and teacher's video for different level students from this website, like Reading, Mathematics,Science,Social Studies and Writing. And you can also publish your lesson plan here and share your ideas.
