Web 2.0 Assignments

Hi,
My Gloster was hard to start at first,but then it began to be fun.  This would be hard for my third graders, but with practice they could do it.  It is awesome to work with.

I want to use this with my class.

Good morning,
  After my comment on games in school.  I am curious--- do any of you use the pogram Success Maker at your schools?  We do, and it is a great at helping students.  We go to lab 30 minutes a day and also have it in our classroom.  Just a thought.

Should Students Play Games in School?

My opinion is that some software games should be allowed in school.  I have my students work on games that are academic and teach skills. Students should not be allowed to play games unless it is teaching more than game playing. I can see how they can motivate students by using graphics in software. The software should be used for problem-solving skills.  Students can discover concepts themselves. I think this is much better than piling worksheets in front of them.  Students should have differential learning and the educational game may reach a student who is not grasping a concept.
