Last night for a homework activity, I went on a website named twittermagnets, which consisted of a blue background with little word magnets, which you put down on a three-line grid to create sentences. It allowed you to submit your sentence to Twitter for whatever reason, swap words to replace them with others and view your feed if you must.
Despite being very simple in nature, I think this site has some advantages, like being easy to work with and being very simple. But with everything with advantages, there is disadvantages. I think the disadvantages of this website is the fact that’s it’s really only a blank blue screen with words you use to make sentences, the option to submit and share them and use other words then the ones you got by swapping them, and nothing else. It doesn’t really teach you that much if you think about it.
However, if you really, REALLY need to use it during school and class time, I would use it if working with young children from about five to six, or with children who are slower learners than others, like children with disabilities.
