This activity is an example of effectiveness and enhancement because it shows the kids that play it an effective way to identify plants and animals and they enjoy playing the game more so than if I were to give them a worksheet or lecture to them so they will be able to identify plants and animals more effectively .

http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php

This website helps create rubrics for various different subjects.

This pertains to efficiency because it provides templates for rubrics that I would otherwise have to create by myself which would take a lot more time.

In this game you are a cowboy in charge of rounding up bad guys that have the same definition of a certain word that you see at the beginning of the game such as fluid---liquid.

This website is an example of effectiveness because it helps kids build vocabulary and they don't mind doing it because it is a game.

This video is a short biography about Earnest Hemingway that describes his life and his accomplishments.

This video is an example of enhancement because it gives us a brief description of a man that many students don't know much about. For example I had no idea that Hemingway committed suicide but after watching the slideshow now I know.
