Historia: Game-Based Learning for Middle School History | Edutopia - 2 views

  •  
    Rick Brennan found interactive games help teach his class history more than a regular lesson. Students seem more involved and want to learn. Games seem to be the key to helping younger students stay active in their education. This blog could help other teachers come up with ideas for their classrooms.
  •  
    I think that it is a good idea to use interactive games to keep younger students active in the class. Without the interactive games it will be easier for students to fall behind and become less interested in the material.

    Very interesting. Making learn fun and interactive

    I like the 19 points in teaching students. Every single point is something teachers should be doing today, a lot of them are more important than most people think such as, keep them spelling, or keep science in every day. Also have them learn in their native language.
  •  
    Integrating technology within the lesson is a great idea and the 19 points is a start. Now, teacher just need a little more time searching for online material that could use in the class.

Travel the World From Your Classroom: Free iPad Apps for Virtual Field Trips - 2 views

  •  
    Not every school has the resources necessary to take their students on an airplane . . . or spaceship tour. Having the iPad app can help these students and show them how things are inside and out. Fun app for the students. They have virtual sites for many historic places.
  •  
    I think bringing ipads into the classroom and giving students a chance to see a virtual version of a famous museum or historical place is an amazing teaching too! Most students may never get to the actual place but that doesn't mean they should not get the chance to experience it, whether it be virtual world or not. It makes the information to students more interactive and they can connect history to the places they see online.
