NETS for Teachers were addressed in many ways when I was on freerice.com. At first, I was confused at what had to get done, but then I realized that my task was to find synonyms to the words provided to me. In addition, I realized the hunger awareness information that was presented in other parts of the website. For every question I answered correctly, grains of rice were place in the bowl and I was informed that those grains would be donated. I became more interested in the other tasks I can do to donate more rice. The website had links to other websites that are informative in regards to hunger awareness and how one can help.
For this game, I saw both NET-T 4, which teachers can be exposed to the social and global issues of hunger awareness. In addition, teachers become aware of other sources of information that can be utilize to inform.
In addition, I also saw NETS-S 5, which students are exposed to the societal issues of global hunger. Just as I realized what the website entails, so will the students. Furthermore, the students took action in helping with hunger by participating in the activity and selected the correct answer to the questions provided. Although I don't know how reliable the scale is in terms of how much rice grains are really donated for the cause, that could be something the teacher can look further into.
