Rationale:
YouTube Videos: Different videos to help students understand the wars and why they were
important. Sometimes different videos will help the students be more engaged.
Edmodo: Used to see where my students are during the class and also have the students become
more engaging. Edmodo will also allow parents to see what their child is learning in class.
Revolutionary War app: Great way to get my students to learn more about the war than they
already know as well as where each battlefield was during the war.
Kahoot.it: I will be able to see what my students are having trouble with and focus on that during
the next class. Kahoot also makes the class fun and keeps the childrens attention.
