Use telecommunications efficiently and effectively to access remote information and communicate with others in support of direct and independent learning and for pursuit of personal interests.

I chose this tool because it's helpful in putting together a response paper. Although, It can be used for many different types of projects. It is something that would be good to introduce to the students because this is a tool they will probably be using later in school.

Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

Use telecommunications and on-line resources (e.g., email, online discussions, web environments) to participate in collaborative problem-solving activities to develop solutions or products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.

I used this tool because it is a fun way of creating a quiz so the students can exercise their knowledge. It may help some students do better at taking quizzes, I know that seeing a quiz or test on a computer screen can be helpful for certain students. This would be a good way of experimenting to find those students that quiz better online.

Develop Understanding of fractions as numbers.

a. Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.
b. Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6= 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Solve Problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects

c. Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.

This a good tool for a quick topic introduction, or a fun way of quizzing students. It's brief, so the students don't get bored. It can just be a quick, fun way of doing certain things. Because it's a brief type of tool, it is something that could be introduced easily for the kids to use for their projects as well!
