You know all those computers, tablets and electronic games the kids got for Christmas? According to CIS of Georgia, game-based learning is a growing trend in education circles, and a number of free online games are available which will allow students to have fun while also increasing their technology skills.
Companies such as GameDesk provide free educational games for students, games that let them apply concepts learned in the classroom and further develop their understanding of a subject.
There are also many mobile applications (or apps) that can help students, parents and educators stay organized, informed and on-task. Some of these free apps include Remind, which allows teachers, students and parents to safely text one another with homework and test reminders; Evernote, a note-taking app which is perfect for research projects; and StudyBlue, an app which lets students create flashcards to help them study.
