Lesson 2.3.
I took a test on grammar. My students struggle with that no matter how many times we go over it. I think if they could over it using a computer test it may just sink in. Plus they could repeat if needed.
Lesson 2.2.   This was great!  I really enjoyed Learning Express. I think my students would like the part where they get feedback right away. I liked being able to see my answers, which ones I missed etc. Students like to take tests more on a computer than paper pencil.

Comparing world book kids and world book students I found that there was a little more information in the world book students, plus there were more options for the students. Students that struggle with reading would be able to use World Book Kids with greater ease. It had a simpler design and looked like it was for younger students.

World Book Advanced: the left side would work better for my students. I believe they will understand the topics and be able to use the site with greater ease. They would be able to narrow down their search topic using the left side.  This site has so much reading that some of my students will have trouble getting through it all.

World Book Discover: I do like that there are the icons to help those that struggle with English. Then it has the option for another language which would be a huge benefit.

I am going to explore these site more as I really like what they have to offer elementary students.
