· Flocabulary: Allows students to be actively engaged in a lesson, for many subject areas, including math, science, and English language arts! Catchy tunes that allow information to be stored in students’ long-term memory. You can also assign practice to students to review the concept: flash cards, vocabulary games, and short read and responds. Also great for review and introductions to new concepts!
