Online Games For The Classroom
Providing interesting and fun ways for students to learn in the classroom are beneficial to todays learning. In my classroom, I want to provide as much academic technology as I can to help my students grow. Web-based games can provide fun rewards for students while still engaging them in learning. Students can play games and still learn in a standard aligned content area. I have found 3 web-based games to use in my classroom. They are Spelling City, Free Rice, and Flocabulary.
