I viewed several of the Best Online Learning Games on Larry Ferlazzo’s website. I browsed thorough many of the sites, finding some to be difficult to maneuver. One game in particular was the PhotoMunchrs. I liked the concept of the game, however, I think my students would have a difficult time playing the game. The game offers students a word and a Pac Man like icon needs to munch the picture. Many pictures were difficult to see and often confusing. Can you tell what this picture is? It's a floor! Also, if this is a game designed for ELLs shouldn't muncher be spelled correctly?
Priscilla,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing you doubts about the usefulness of this site. A bad review saves everyone time. By the way, the dropping of the "e" in muncher is a typical phenomenon in websites. Flickr and Bookr are other examples.
