I love this site for so many reasons. It is a great learning tool and it is also doing something good for the world. You can play anonymously, or make an account and track progress. It is a vocabulary challenge in which you are asked to choose the definition of a word from 4 options. If you get the answer correct, 10 grains of rice are donated through the World Food Programme to help earn world hunger. I can definitely see myself allowing students to do this during free time in class. I can also see myself offering it as extra credit. For example, so many grains of rice donated equals so many points extra credit to students.

I chose this website because not only does it help students learn about multiple subjects, but it also helps feed the hungry. After you get an answer correct, 10 grains of rice is donated to help feed the hungry. Depending on age level and subject, students could do this during free time or after a test.

This is a Social Studies site. I chose this one due to its creativity. This game that I am bookmarking is an activity for the students to match up the presidents with his vice president. It is very accessible, they have instructions for you at the beginning and then you are off to matching up the president to their vice president. It tells you which ones you get right and wrong. The only problem I have with it is, it doesnt give any clues so I had a hard time because it has been along time since I learned about the presidents.
