Thing 5-Thinkfinity

The place that I will be doing with my students in class are in the learning lab section on Thinkfinity.

I do a unit on Internet Safety and there is an interactive Garfield, "Watch, Try, Apply" video that would be excellent for the students to get exposure to new vocabulary and the concept of cyberbullying.

I will use the Teacher's Guide which helps introduce the new vocabulary, has focus questions, a short quiz to assess how well the students understood what they learned.

This is the second section of Thinkfinity that I would use in my classroom. This is set up the same way as the cyberbullying unit. I would have the students, "Watch, Try, Apply" then discuss some of the new vocab, do the questions, then take the quiz.

These are interactive so the students will be engaged and yet educational so they are learning while they play.
