Grammar Dragon

This week in 3W we have investigated the app called Grammar Dragon. We had to decide what type of word the highlighted word was. For example "I went to the beach on the weekend." We had to decide what part of speech "beach" is. We would then find 'noun' listed down the side of the screen and drag the word into the fire. If it was correct we would get 10c dropped into a treasure bag. If our answer was wrong the fire would get brighter and everything else on the screen got darker.

Austin thought it was fun because we have been learning about the parts of speech.

Ryan said it got a bit boring after Level 2 even if the game was timed.

Rebecca found it was fun because you could choose your character to 'play', but the characters were limited. You only had a choice of 2 characters.

Lachlan thought it was good that after getting 5 answers correct in a row a gem would be dropped in the treasure bag.

Kayla liked the fact you could choose harder levels to challenge our learning.

    Year 3, this is a marvellous blog. I have never used an iPod and all the apps that you are talking about but I am very interested in it. I wonder if some of you could come and help me learn to use the iPod and show me some of the fun and educational apps you are using.

    I think that this would have been the best leaning app ever if the bats had eyeballs and if the people weren't so ugly!Bec:o:D

    I like this app because I could choose the level of difficulty. Level one was way too easy. Perhaps if there were more choices of characters-and eyes on the bats-I would have liked it even more.

    I really liked this app a lot as when you got five items correct in a row you would get a coloured gem in your treasure bag. I also like that you had a choice to turn on or off the timer. Aidan
