There are many games to choose from
on the internet. The internet has a wide
variety of games. Some games are too
complicated for me to figure out and some games limited to certain age
groups. I was very satisfied with the
range at which the game progresses to improve a persons’ reading. The most important thing that I found with Learning to Read is it has the choices
from children’s learning to adult learning.
It also has other choices of learning like mathematics and other studies
that can be purchased at http://www.starfall.com/n/N-order/store.htm.
In my second group, the game we had chosen had to do with fractions and I wasn't to satisfied with this game, but the game can be found at http://prezi.com/pcy7vy_9alrs/educational-online-game/?kw=view-pcy7vy_9alrs&rc=ref-32742841 . I believe I can use this game in teaching the parts of certain things in my content area, but believe it will be limited. Like un pida'su, means one piece, which could be related to one whole. But I'm still more interested in using the Learning to Read more often.

It has given me ideas that I believe will be effective
in teaching Chamorro. The game uses
phonics. I believe the use of this game
will be an effective resource for my educational lessons.
The
only thing I didn’t like about this game is I didn’t find it in any other language,
which is what I would have to provide and produce for the integration of this
game to my specialty in education. Another
dilemma that I feel I will encounter is the diversity of students we have on
Guam. I will have to manage the “learner attitudes about the subject matter, or
in some instances, culturally determined acceptable patterns of behavior”, (Allyn and Bacon Inc., 1974).
It
gave me ideas like making assessments for reading in Chamorro by using the
games design in Chamorro. This idea came
from “evaluations of their students’ reading in five different domains:
comprehension, awareness about reading strategies, self-confidence, effort and
interests or experiences”, (American
Psychological Association, Paris S.G., Wellman H.M., 1998). afforded by the internet” (Stephenson J. and named authors, 2001).
Overall,
this game is going to be a very resourceful tool for me in teaching Chamorro
and applying it to online learning.
