Seven Things to Know about My Interactive- Word Confusion

1. Word Confusion is a game that can be found on funbrain.com. It is a game that teaches students to see the difference between two words that look and sound alike.

2. This game can be used in grades 4 to 8. It is available to fit a variety of grade levels because it really depends on the student's vocabulary level and their ability to recognize the words. It can also fit a variety of grade levels because there is an option that can make the game harder or easier. The game is not hard to work so they do not need skills in that, but they do need vocabulary and English skills. The content area that this would be helping is English.

3. The student first has to pick if they want to play on the easy or hard level. After they pick that a sentence will pop up and they will have to click on the right word to complete the sentence. The game will keep track of how many you get right and wrong. If you pick the wrong word the game will then show you the right word that you should have picked.

4. This game is significant because it is important that students learn how to use words correctly so that people know what they are talking about. It supports student learning because when you get something wrong it tells you the right answer; so in the future you know how to properly use the word in a sentence.

5. I would have the students get into groups of four. I would then give each team a whiteboard. Then I would bring up the website so everyone could see it. I would then tell the students to talk in their groups and figure out what is the correct answer to the question and have them write down the answer on the whiteboard. When everyone had their answers I would then tell them to show their answers. If they got it write they would receive a point and if they got it wrong then they would not receive a point. Whatever team got the most points at the end would win the game.

6. The downside is that you do not have an account, so you do not have records to show how many times you played the game or what your score was each time that you played. The tool is very simple so they should not have any problems. One thing that the student should know though is that if the game is too easy for them there is a button at the top of the page that they can press to make the game harder. On the same note if the game is to hard you can go to the top of the page and make the game easier.

7. I believe that this tool is going to become a part of everyday homework for students. I can also see this becoming a great study tool for students to help them understand how words that look similar mean different things.
