Summary of Implementation:
Using the presentation tool, https://bubbl.us/, I would start off a lesson to see where my students stood in knowing the information. I could also use this to gather everything they learned from a lesson that was just taught to make sure all the important facts were observed. Yes, you can use a whiteboard and save the energy, but not everyone has neat handwriting. You can easily erase errors that were made, color code each bubble, and type quickly as people are shouting out. I played around with this, and its pretty easy to use. Students could use this on their own if they need to make an organizer and not worry about writing neatly, drawing a perfect circle, or putting the thoughts in any sort of order. If students got done early with their work, they could get in a small group around the computer(s) or interactive white board and quietly play the games, practice flashcards, or take quizzes on all of the websites that I have found. This will keep them busy and learning even in their downtime. You can also use this in centers. When students are moving around the room and doing different tasks, the websites could be one of them. Working on things you know, or need help with, through a website is the easiest way to do this. The teacher cant always provide the extra help or the one-on-one (not to mention all of the extra questions you can have at your fingertips) and this would be a good supplement to the classroom. It is easy to make a list for the students to take home to their parents and

have the parents keep this list as a resource on fun, educational games they can play on their own at home.
