Thing 6

The website I chose is called GAIAonline.com.  It is a social networking site but allows users to play games and earn what they call virtual money and different things for different achievements in the games and networking.  Users can also  create avatars much like we did to put on thier sites.  I think that eventually teachers could have thier younger students play these games and get thier virtual money and have fun with it all while learning whatever standard it is they are trying to learn.  Although this might be for the older people, I can see where you could work around and maybe block your students from everyone but your select classroom and it would be fun for them getting to create thier avatars and different things and would also help out a lot with thier learning because they would get practice doing something they like.
