Critiques, reactions, summary

 The information on the website is brief and general compared to the information when
downloading as an app.
 The games are interactive and full of great visuals for the students to enjoy.
 With a mobile device or an iPad, and computer, Fun brain can be accessed and used not
only in the classroom but at home as well.
 For some of the games, the difficulty can be increased to challenge the students as well as
decreased to help the students improve.
 A benefit of this website is that it’s easily accessible for both students and parents.
 Another benefit is that the website allows you to choose a grade level to work from.
 One weakness is that some of the games aren’t school related.
 Another weakness is that for students who don’t have a mobile device or laptop, the
interaction is limited.
 I think that if there was a way to record or monitor a student’s progress that it would
benefit the student.
