         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>I explored two resources: Google Lit Trips and Primary Source Sets (created by the Library of Congress) <br>Google Lit trips is an interactive resource for teachers to use with lesson planning. This resource has pre-made cultural/historical lessons built into the google earth platform. This will be an interactive activity to use with students. <br>The second resource, Primary Source Sets, has different historical artifacts as well as classroom materials. This is a good source for lesson planning. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Wonderopolis / Prodigy Math </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>The first resource I explored was Wonderopolis. This source is like a google search engine but is more tailored for children. I liked how students can view top asked questions and can also search for questions that occur in the classroom and/or if they are doing a project. This source is great for any subject.<br>The second source, Prodigy Math, is very detailed and complex, but easy to navigate for teachers and students. It has a calender that the teacher can put important dates for the students to view. Also, I like how there is a placement test for the game, so that the students are not falling behind and/or so that the game is not too easy. This game is great for students in grades 1-8.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Prodigy Math/Kahoot! </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>I used Prodigy math. The game I played was very fun, interactive and asked appropriate math questions in order for the player to move forward. I also really liked that the student can choose where they are playing. I am assuming the teacher can create accounts for the students and track the progress while playing the school version. The home version has parental access that they can see too. I would utilize this a lot in my classroom. </div><div><br></div><div>I would also use Kahoot in the classroom but also for home assignments using the challenge part of Kahoot. The challenge part allows the teacher to create a due date and the student must complete the Kahoot at home before the time and day end. I know from my experience that Kahoot is good for everyone including college students. It is challenging for students to pick the right answer, they get points for correct answers and answering the quickest. There is just enough competition that is safe and welcoming and makes the students want more and get excited to play. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Google Lit Trips/ Primary Sources: Library of Congress</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>I explored the wonderful resources of Google Lit Trips and Primary sources: Library of congress, I chose these resources because they both can be used in my future classroom. Many students find it hard to read a book because they are used to seeing things like movies and videos, Google Lit Trips creates a road map for books and helps create a visual guide of the places talked about in the books along with resources for students to engage with (videos, pictures, questions, etc.). <br><br>Primary Sources: Library of Congress is a wonderful site that provides a wide variety of, of course, primary sources. It doesn't stop at providing primary sources, it gives resources for teachers and students. It gives teachers a background of a topic or person to refresh their understanding and lays out tools for their students to use. It also provides interactive tools for critical thinking that students can use; this interactive tool helps students analyze primary sources and gives them tips to better do so. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Prodigy/NASA</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>I chose to explore Prodigy because my son (age 9) is always asking to play this after school. He was really excited to show me everything about Prodigy, so I would say this is a great "stealth learning" resource. I like how challenging the math questions are, and I think there are plenty of incentives to get kids to try to figure out problems that are on the more challenging side. <br><br>The other site I explored was the NASA Science Simulations site. I found these simulations to be a little dull and out of date. A lot of them seemed older, and didn't keep my interest. The actual address of the link is knowitall.org, so I decided to explore NASA's actual site and found more appealing interactive games and activities that you would expect from NASA. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>I explored Prodigy from the teachers perspective. This is a great way to keep track of all your students progress, by adding them all to your prodigy classroom. Prodigy lets you add your specific school, grade, and state for the appropriate curriculum. You can add students to your classroom and assign them games specific to the content you are teaching. You also can check the progress of your students. I also explored Kahoot. I did not expect this game-based format to come in every language. This would be great to use for very diverse schools to make sure every student is able to comprehend the questions. This can be used at home or in the classroom and is a fun way for students to remember material information.   </div><div><br></div>]]></description>
