My Pyramids

Egypt's most famous pyramids and
tombs while learning more about
the life of Ancient Egyptians.
This coincides with our lesson on
civilizations and will allow for
students to make connections with
the learning and will allow for a
virtual field trip.
Reflections
 I love all the apps that I found in addition to the required ones
 Of the four that I chose, only one of theme is partially free.
 The problem with this occurs because I would not really be
able to use any of these in my classroom because we use
Chromebooks and not iPads or tablets.
 I do think I could take Jeopardy and make it into something we
can use in class with some modifications
 Tangrams can also be converted into a non-digital game if I
wanted to use it as well.
