Week 5; Task 1

Assignment #1:

I looked through flowlab.io and I found it really cool. Using this site, students and teachers can create their own educational games. Teachers can track the students’ progress, and it is super easy to set up accounts on the site. I think that this site is very useful since it can be used in many areas; it can be incorporated into many different subjects. Playing games also helps to increase student motivation. In addition, having students create their own games adds a tremendous learning effect. The students come to understand the concept most clearly when they do this. I feel that this site is a tremendous asset to any classroom, and teachers and students should make use of it when learning and teaching.
