Targeted
Audience
FunBrain is a great website
for both teachers and students to use. The games
and readings on the website
are for students in elementary and middle school.
Students can review math
concepts through games or
read web books and comics
to practice reading. Students love working on computers and playing games
and FunBrain allows them to
do both while remaining
educational. Teachers can
use FunBrain’s curriculum
finder to find appropriate
educational games to use in
the classroom. In addition,
teachers can make math
flashcards to print for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There is
also a link to TeacherVision
where lesson plans are
available.
Personal
Reflection
FunBrain is an
awesome website for both
teachers, students, and parents. It is
loaded with games and activities of various types that all
kids and parents will enjoy.
The webpage is very easy to
navigate which makes it easy
for anyone to find what they
are looking for. In my future
classroom, I would have a link
to FunBrain on all the computers in the classroom and
create a learning center where
the students could use the
website. I might also post the
link to FunBrain in a newsletter
Www.funbrain.com
at the beginning of the school
year so that parents can become aware of the website
and it’s educational benefits.
FunBrain is definitely a web-

site that all kids, parents, and
teachers should use daily!
