Week 4! February 2/2021

I've decided to review deck.toys    The sign in page allows for students or teachers (free account) to login. You can also login using Google or Facebook which may allow the user to link their Google Drive and Google Classroom to this interactive lesson planner.  Once logged in as the teacher, you can add up to two classrooms and peruse the pre-built lessons or create your own.  The premade lessons include Math, Social, Science and ELA.  After you've selected the subject area, you can choose the appropriate grade level and preview the decks.  There are intriguing templates made with Donkey Kong and Among Us themed lessons.
With the design, you're able to choose a linear, forked, circular or merged path for the students' learning.  Those prefab choices range anywhere from simple to mastery, or the teacher can do a custom design.
The lessons will ultimately end up looking like a board game, but you can make it look almost any way you'd like it to, including some popular game shows like Wheel of Fortune.
I think the strength of this program is that you can tailor it to your/your student's tastes and make it relevant to the unit you're focusing on. I also like the fact that there is a plethora of premade decks that you have access to and can demo them before assigning them to your group.
A weakness of the program is that there are so many things that you can do on the site, but the instruction are a little vague and could use more guidance for a new user.  The tutorials are there, but some on site guidance would be beneficial.
