Discussion Prompt: Think back to a lesson you have taught in your classroom in the past that could have benefited from technology. Explain how the technology would be used to help your students meet the learning goals of the lesson.
Please be sure to make a minimum of three substantive contributions to the discussion using the ETLO Discussion Board Expectations.
My students always have a lot of trouble with addition of fractions. While we try to create fractions bars with cut out pieces of paper, many of my students do not have the fine motor skills to cut out the pieces cleanly or line them up straight on their desks. The virtual manipulative fractions bars on the NLVM website would be a great addition to the lesson for the students who are unable to perform the task correctly on their own.
I agree, my students have real trouble with this tool
Great idea, Larry! I would like to try this out too.
It kind of reminds of that old video game Tetris...when you had to line up all the blocks!
Carla, I loved Tetris!! I used to play it for hours!
David, there are still some great sites where you can play it online. I'll send you one of the links.
