    I think a website like this is very useful because so many students seem to be having issues understanding basic skills in Mathematics. Also, being a free website is great.

    I had no idea this website existed but after interacting with this blog and exploring for myself it is indeed a website that I would be using to make Mathematics fun for my students. The fact that it covers a wide range of skills in Mathematics will be beneficial to a wide cross section of students. I also like the fact that it is free as well.

However, on this blog, I will be focusing on technology in education and more specifically, I will be evaluating academic websites and software. I remember when I first began as a teacher over 15 years ago, the technology available to Barbadian teachers was limited and as a student in secondary school, it was almost non-existent. We relied heavily on textbooks that were not very student-friendly, especially for students who have reading challenges and would always have to tailor notes and exercises to meet the needs of the students we teach. Most assessments and activities were paper and pencil-based.
