The games were a great way to lead the students in learning. The students were able to add features to the games that helped to reinforce the concepts along the way. With the flashcard games, the young students are able to repeat, as often as needed, the facts until they can recite or recall the information. The teacher can, then, pay attention to each student while they are engaged. The QR codes really seem to be beneficial for leading the students. The codes are very easy to follow to an expected end. The group project led by me in the third grade class did lead the students well. It was based on previous information that they were required to recall in the science and writing area then reinforced by the illustrations. The Internet-linked booked served as a guide for individuals to find facts. There was a lot of collaboration and assessment even between groups.
The students are excited at the third grade level to create so Google docs is a simple method for them to not be overwhelmed and get amazing results. They are able to make simple decisions to create powerful presentations that are colorful. They, also, have fun with typing the sentences, paying more attention to spelling and the subject verb- agreement. The lesson is reinforced by making the illustration deciding the order of the information. Students focus on basic but necessary information required by the standards and have access to the teacher to assist. The teacher, during the course of the group project, has modeled decision making and selection skills as well to help children communicate more clearly. Their completed project can stand with actual published authors.
