Garrrett Cranford Resource Review 1 For my resource review, I chose to review the site www.freerice.com . While the site is not a multiplayer game, it is game based learning for the students. I have used this site since it was brought to my attention five or six years ago. The site originated as a vocabulary site where students could practice word association and meaning. Not only did freerice allow them to learn, it allowed the students to feel a since of pride or ownership in the idea of community service with donating the rice. Freerice has since evolved into a multi-discipline game for the students. Students can now work on Humanities, English, Math, Chemistry, Language Learning, Geography, Sciences, and even SAT Prep.
