2. Perfect and easy for a classroom teacher, floating teacher, substitute teacher, or student teacher.
As a substitute teacher, this is something I utilize often in the classroom.
It’s universal to all schools, it has all grade levels, and it covers all subjects.

This is wonderful for differentiating instruction and giving each student what he/she needs.

Individualized work and student-centered teaching

7. A great way to utilize this site in a student-centered way is to have group or individual projects that are open-ended and student choice.
Students can choose if they want to do an independent or group project, what subject, what realm, what medium, and how in-depth. It puts their learning in their own hands.

8. This can play into student strength and learning styles.
Students who learn better by writing can choose to tackle some of the fun worksheets.
Students who learn better by doing and manipulating can find some activities.
Students who learn better by listening can turn on the sound and play some games.

9. SAMR
This site can be used as almost any level of the SAMR model, depending on how the teacher chooses to use it. If it’s games and worksheets alone, it would be considered a Substitution or Augmentation level. However, if there is individualization and student- centered creative learning with the activities, it could be considered Modification and possibly Redefinition for some teachers and students.
