Web Applications!!

The web application provided to explore were great! I played around a lot with the colonial website and on the Nasa under the kids section. The colonial one would be great in educating students on how life was during that time from the type of clothing worn, careers, classes (ses), and everyday life. I think if you had discussed with your class about the colonial period and perhaps read some information from their text books. Provided them with a some background knowledge and then let them explore the website putting a visual and interactive part into their learning to help concrete it and increase comprehension. I explored the NASA website and found a great interactive games for students. I played one that had to do with the solar system, it asked questions about the planet and as you got them right a comet got closer to the sun. Once again if students had foundational knowledge of the planets, their order, and a little about each planet they would be successful enough to continue playing but they'd also be challenged and learn what they didn't already know.
