Professional Development Plan

1. What did I learn?
The website that i went into this week is www.ixl.com and this is a math practice site for prek-6th grade students. The first things that caught my attention is how colorful, organized, and kid friendly this website is. This website also has a lot of information for teachers even on how to meet state standards. Through this website students are able to practice their math skills by doing activities and problems through colorful pictures. Once they are done the teacher can go back and look at the students reports. This website makes a student report out of every child and it lets the teacher know what the student needs help on. Also there is an award chart, once each child reaches their goal or masters a new concept they get awarded with prizes, its like a big treasure hunt for them. I definately enjoyed this website because its not only fun and educational for children but it is also very helpful and useful for the teacher.
2. What else do I want to learn?
What i would like to learn more about is of the free softwares that are out there. If i could learn more about free softwares i wont have to waste a lot of money but still get the same result.
