2. Apple Learning Interchange Reflection

Playgrounds Around the World
My World + Your World = One World:
This was the grade (k-3) and content area that I explored. It gave an overview and description of an excample of an assignment a teacher could use with this site. I thought it was really interesting. However, I was not all that comfortable searching the site. I thought it was a little hard to move around and not all that user friendly. Not that it was bad--just not as user friendly as other sites have been that we have used in this class before. Also, I'm not sure that I like having to become a user. I know that it was free & harmless, but I don't see the point.

I shared this with a good friend of mine, April Kohrs. April teaches second grade in the Kansas City area. She was not familiar with this site before, but she is very into technology (her husband more so than she is.) I told her about the different assignments you could explore & etc. We were actually on the phone while we were exploring, so that was fun. She said that she would save it to her computer & possibly use it this upcoming year!
