Teachers are having their

students use this app to
help them better
understand adding,
subtracting,
multiplication, and
division. This is useful for
students, because they
are then able to use this
app with in the comfort of
their own home.

I think it is a
beneficial idea to
have your students
practice their number
senses on this app
within the classroom
instead of
worksheets, due to
they can have more
interaction.

Not only could your

student practice
within the classroom
but they can also use
the app at home for
extra practice.

having the students
complete a worksheet.

Within the simulation

there is a game that
the students are able
to play to help them
solidify what they
had just previous
learned.

I want my students
to go home and use
the simulation game
and practice area so
they can be well
reversed in how area
is found.

Teachers are using

technologys such as
apps to help their
students grasp concepts
because it can be a more
exciting way as well be
more interacting. Its good
for teachers to keep class
interacting instead of
having their students
nose in a book.

The app in itself is a

game that the
students can mess
around with. The
exciting point is that
the students are
having fun playing
games but are
learning as well.

Reflection:
I did some extensive research to find interactive apps or websites that students could access. I think it is important to find these
resources and implement them within the classroom because it is a good way to have your students involved. Also these websites and apps can
be mostly accessed from the comfort of students homes, which gives a higher likely that the students will be practicing their lessons more. With
the research that I conducted I saw that there are so many websites that the student can access, which can be a benefit or something negative.
I get a little nervous that my students will fall down a hole of finding websites that are inaccurate or non-educational. However, after reading
the articles that were given to me, I found that it will also be a learning process for me as the teacher. I will scout out those amazing websites
and apps and then implement my techniques to my students. I want to be able to teach my students technology etiquette, so in the future they
are able to navigate through the good and bad websites. Out of all the Matrixs, I feel as though this weeks matrix best prepared me for
implementing technology within my classroom. There are so many different uses that I can make education more interacting and interesting that
just standing in front and writing on a white board.
