www.abcya.com

Abcya.com is an extremely effective tool for teaching young students. It allows students to test their knowledge by using different games on this website, for nearly every subject.


This program is an amazing tool that provides different games for students to use to test their knowledge on different subjects. This website allows students to choose which games would be most helpful for them to learn new topics and test their information. Games such as the "money game" for older students and the "alphabetical order game" for Kindergarteners help students test what they have learned by providing incentive after each correctly answered question.

I can use this particular website in my classroom to help students test their knowledge. If I teach my students about how to count money, a standard for second grade students, they can use the "money game" to test the information learned. This particular game gives the students an amount and all the bills and coins possible, and they must pick which ones will give them the amount. I believe that this game in particular will help my classroom be fun and educational.

This website addresses the three E's by addressing efficiency and effectiveness. It addresses efficiency by allowing students to quickly test their knowledge of the subject as well as let them correct any mistakes right on the website, making it quick and easy learning. This website addresses effectiveness by actually testing the information presented. Students are able to literally test themselves through playing these games, making them effective.
