Wow! I have spent so much time searching for games for my students on the web. Games that I do not have to purchase software for, games that I could use a few times (without any cost) and then change to new ones. Never would I have guessed that a web page like evalutech existed.
What first caught my attention was the explore lesson plans and other resources link. Since I began this class I have been taking the implementation of technology into the classroom extremely seriously. Every time I work with my students in math I try to find ways to implement technology. Like all of us, they love computers and especially computer games. Under the math section of the explore lessons and other resources links, I found two links that took me to games. What was better was that these games were just for what I was looking for, times tables.
Another section that I enjoyed looking over was the evaluating criteria section. I browsed the evaluating computer course ware and the evaluating websites. As I read the criteria for websites I decided to go back to some of the links I liked and wanted to try to use with my students. I read the criteria and looked for it in the websites, especially the a+math. Fortunately it did follow most. I found this to be extremely helpful. This works so well, especially for teachers who are just beginning to implement technology. Of course it is helpful for any teacher because of the variety and vast amount of information found on this web page. I loved it and plan to come back and look through it whenever I need resources. This webpage reiterated what the professor has mentioned a few times; we shouldn't try to invent something when it is already there. Just use it, modify it to fit you and your students and have fun.
