This document talks about three websites

1. COMENTS ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES
“Hippocampus” - http://www.hippocampus.org/
1. GOOD POINTS
a. Technological
1. Exploration of digital content in 13 subjects areas. Each one has been distributed using different sections: presentation, worked examples, test prep and simulations. Although all of the subject areas don’t have these four parts, most of them have only presentation and simulations.
2. You have the opportunity to browse topics, launch a course and text correlations using videos.
3. You can make a playlist on Hippocampus with a tutorial video.
4. It is focused on new models of digital content development, distribution and use.
b. Pedagogical
1. Students use these digital resources to study and prepare exams accessing to quality education. Personalized learning.
2. There is a section which is called NROC Community and it gives you the chance of learning, sharing ideas and helping each other as user community of teachers, students, administrators and parents.
3. It is easy to learn properly and you can find quickly that you need due to its excellent distribution.
4. There are many blog posts where you can learn and practice with different games.

2. 2. BAD POINTS
1. If you access to the upper toolbar, you cannot come back to the main page, unless you open a new tab.
2. The section of the topics should be bigger because it is difficult to read it.
3. There are only three colors and each subject area should be differentiating correctly.
3. LEVEL AND AGE
It is thought to use for middle-school and high-school teachers and college professors, and their students.
4. USE OF THE WEB IN YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
We would use the digital content, videos, to practice different examples according to the topic which we are working with my students. It would be useful to make a playlist in groups to upload and share with NROC community.
5. CHOSEN WEBSITE
The website chosen, has a wide diversity of games for all subjects. It attracts the attention due to its colors and structure. Moreover, it is really easy to use, because you can download the games and the app to play in your mobile phone. It is a useful website to help parents to develop their children’s knowledge. Music is included in all of the games and each game does not take you too much time. http://pbskids.org/games/all-topics

3. “Math words” - http://www.mathwords.com/index_algebra.htm
1. GOOD POINTS
a)Technological
1. The website is well-organized. Content is searched easily in alphabetical order.
2. Search is very easy, in the left side you can click on a letter and automatically it goes to the letter section. There is also a Google searcher above it so you can start your search by using it.
3. A second index is divided into different topics what helps students either teachers for a better search.
4. Colors are used in order to differentiate sections; there are two indexes in blue and all terms are in white. This can help you in locating different words.
b) Pedagogical
1. Content is given through definitions and explanations. Different links are provided to widen knowledge.
2. This index enhance students the learning in the mathematical field by a wide range of terminology.
3. All words go with each definition and a problem solving, this makes a better understanding of what students are learning and a good practice to make it perfect.
4. Students can achieve an advanced learning by working through the topics open to them.
5. Teachers can use this index as a tool for everyday lessons depending on the topic who want to work on.

4. 2) BAD POINTS:
1. Definitions given may be too short and graphics cannot be understood.
2. Lack of range of colors, only three colors are used.
3. Content words are is in a high level within the subject.
3) LEVEL AND AGE
This index could be used with students in last course of Secondary School, age 16.
4) USE OF THE WEB IN YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
We would not use this index for primary students. We consider that content in general terms is very high for students from 6 to 12 years old.
5)CHOSEN WEBSITE
After doing a further research, we have chosen this website because it contains Math´s Dictionary and is very interactive. It is colorful, that can be a very good point in engaging students to keep learning and motivate them for the subject matter. It has proper information with explanations, activities, pictures and it is a very good practice though for pupils of this stage.

3. It isn’t a very colorful web page… There is lack of bright colors that makes difficult to motivate and engage the students.

6. 3. LEVEL AND AGE
It is foCused on offers instructional content and tools for math teachers and it is also suitable for secondary school students after 12- 13 years old.
4. USE OF THE WEB IN YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
Personally, we will not use this web page in our classes given that we consider it has a level that is too high for primary students. Maybe there are some videos or tutorials that could be useful for the last primary course but I insist that the contents are quite high.
