At the website ixl, students, parents, and educators are brought to an educational gaming website that gives children a chance to learn through online gaming! As a generation who grew up as digital natives, this gives students as opportunity to really be engaged and interest in what they are learning. There are a variety of categories to choose from including math, language arts, science social studies, analytics, and common core. Students can also select their own grade level which begins at Pre-K and goes all the way up to twelfth grade. All of the skills that are learned through these online games meet the common core standards and help students reach their educational goals. To motivate students even further this gaming site has added awards that make learning fun and encouraging. The only downfall to this website is that they do not include and option that is free, but parents can sign up for $9.95 per month. Teachers may be able to benefit from this site more than parents because not only does this site offer teachers a free classroom trial, but they can also ask the principal to pay for this. Overall, I think this is a great site for students to make learning fun, but I think it would be more beneficial for teachers to look into than parents.
