http://www.allfunapps.com/webapps/alphabet/numbers_display.php?n=1

Why did i choose this particular chrome extension.

First of all this chrome is suitable for the grade R learners especially in numbers.This game help learners count from 1-10 and even from 1-20 though grade R learners only count from 1-10 this game still suit them well.It will teach them to count forward and backward with the sound helping them recognize which number is it.The teacher will do nothing difficult than to let the learners watch the game as it start counting with the audio option pronouncing the numbers aloud. 

The game has the following features:
  • Large easy to read numbers.
  • Large buttons for easy navigation.
  • Cute graphics.
  • Audio options pronounces numbers aloud.
what is expected from grade R's in numbers.
  • Numbers in grade R's should help them count from 1-10.
  • They will  know how to write each and every number beginning from 1-10.
  • Grade R's should know how to count forward and backward.
  • Grade R's will also know how to do addition and subtraction of numbers e.g.(2+1=3) 
  • Learners will know how to differentiate between a 6 and a 9 as most learners have difficulties when it comes to writing a 6 and a 9.

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY

2013 was my last year of schooling at DD Mabuza Comprehensive High school. My previous high school is situated in Mpumalanga under  Nelspruit city,Ehlanzeni region at Nkomazi circuit. The school is at Block A area.It is one of the best school under the circuit. Its a school which was named after the DD Mabuza,the premier of Mpumalanga province. Matric the greatest grade ever though it was regarded as the toughest grade, it require ones time.In this school all learners wear mustard shirts,black skirts for girls and black trousers for boys, wear black socks with mustard stripes for both girls and boys.

In my matric I was doing seven subject which is Mathematics,Physical Sciences,English,Siswati,Life Orientation,Engineering graphics and design and Electrical Technology. I only loved two of the subjects which is physical sciences and electrical technology. The reason behind that was that these two subjects were interesting, though they were the most difficult subjects ever,since from grade 10 when they were introduced. All the subject were interesting and the teachers were the ones who were always keen to give all the information they had so that we can all pass.

No educational technology were used in my class but the school does have computers who were mainly used by the Computer Application Technology learners only.We as the Electrical Technology learners were not allowed to use computers as they normally said we will block or even break the computers because we have no information when it comes to computers.We never had the opportunity to use educational technology staff but we mostly use study guides,notes and text books which are not even technology example.
