Thinkfinity

I really enjoyed this activity because it gave me a chance to explore some tecnology that I would otherwise not know of. I also enbjoyed working in groups because it allowed us to bounce ideas off of eachother. For our tool my group studies Thinkfinity. I really liked this cite because it allows you explore lesson, activities and tool related to every content area.

We decided to look at histoy. In terms of the information that they provide dealing with history they focus on american history and do not provide any informaton that deals with European or world history. Their history section has links to games, lesson plans, trip ideas and much more. YOu could have the students explore this cite and play the games plus you could also get some interactive lesson from this cite. Studnet and they teacher are left up to their own choices so it is easy to have students pcik and choose what they would like to work on and study.

In terms of teachinmg from this tool the teacher would need to know how to work the cite and how to make meaning out of an on-line game, tour or lesson.
