Go Vizzle? Go Crazy!
Go Vizzle is a great website to use for any content area. You can match, sort, read a book or play a game using content from a specific unit. There are plenty of pre-made activities, but if you feel adventurous you can certainly create your own. I like being able to make my own content as I know the activity will be appropriate for the lesson and my students. I haven't seen much support from the website which is the downside of using this site. The website will often "glitch" and images will not load or the website won't load or free in the middle of an activity.

This website will work on touch screen computers or with a mouse depending upon what is available in your classroom.

Great interactive tool for students with special needs, specifically Autism
I think that Vizzle is a wonderful teaching tool that can be incorporated during classroom lessons and routines for any subject area. As a teacher in a self-contained classroom for students with Autism, I've used Vizzle during whole group, small group, and for independent work. I absolutely love the fact that I am able to individualize lessons to meet each learners needs. I am able to assign lessons to each student and they are then able to log into their Vizzle Player and complete each lesson. It monitors their responses which is wonderful for IEP data collection. This data can be used for me to see what areas I need to re-teach or practice with the student. Students are extremely engaged and motivated to use Vizzle each and every day. Although Vizzle is wonderful and is an engaging interactive teaching tool, I did find that it often can be time consuming to create, edit or find lessons. However, I feel that Vizzle helps me tremendously to meet each students needs each and every day.
