This marks the beginning of a new adventure in technology…the development of my PLN, or “Personal Learning Network.” On this site, I am supposed to reflect on my own bumps and bruises along the way as I experiment with ways to engage my 7th grade students in 21st century learning. Hopefully, I will have a few small epiphanies and victories to share as well! I also intend to share links to interesting resources that I find as I explore. So, stay tuned…off we go!

Unable to Root Out Any Root Word Apps
My second post and already I feel like a cynic. Note to self: tame inner cynic. So, I am trying to find some engaging and educational apps and/or games that will help students interact with word parts. All of the links online require that darn Flash player (see earlier post), and there seem to not be any interesting age-appropriate apps for "fun with morphology." Am I missing something? Note to self: stay far away from technology on Friday nights.

I took a stab at it too and found little, except for this app called Link-it for Literacy. It is a shocking $29.00
ReplyDeletehttps://itunes.apple.com/app/id572114669 - if you look at this link and scroll over to the far image on the page, you'll see what the app looks like in terms of roots/prefixes/suffixes. I'd be happy to test it for you if you think it looks promising.
