Practice Dolch Sight Words

I don't normally recommend flash card type apps, but I thought this one might be handy for students in K-3 to practice their sight words. Sight Words by dropthetyrrany.com provides students with a student friendly interface. Students can click on a word to hear the word said properly. The sight word flash cards are divided into PP, P, 1,2, 3, and Nouns. I could not see a tracking feature, but for some practice of 315 sight words it is fine. It is free and, thankfully, advertisement free.

Add the app to your browser by going to the chrome menu > more tools > extensions. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select More Extensions then type Sight Words in the search box.

3 Tools Activity - Minds On Technology

Think about these three learning technologies. Choose the one that you either liked to use the most or that you think you learnt the most with. Then think deeply about the "why" you made that choice. How would you characterize the "why"?
