Website Review: Lumosity

I recently visited this website called www.lumosity.com  and I think it's a great website so I'm writing about it. This website is about developing and training your brain through various brain games. There are five categories; Speed, Memory, Attention, Flexibility, and Problem Solving. When you first sign up, they ask you some questions about you to know about your brain. They are based on what are your strong points and what you need to develop.

You can play many games for free, but to have complete access to the whole site, you have to pay a fixed amount of money per month. I think this is a good chance to develop yourself according to what your brain needs. Besides, these games are better than the usual computer  games.

The courses are all free, only if you want a Verified Certificate, you have to pay for it. Getting a Certificate is not at all necessary, it's just  like a kind of degree, and I don't t...

Website Review: Scratch

Scratch  Scratch is an online community, a project of MIT University in USA. It’s a place where people from all over the world share their ideas with others in the form of projects. For example, if I want to share a story I wrote, I would start a project (online), type up my story, illustrate it, and then share it for the whole world to view, comment, and give feedback on it. Other than stories, you can make art, animations, games, and many other things to share with Scratchers. And unlike facebook and twitter, this social media is a creative way to express yourself. An advantage of it is that people from anywhere around the globe can look at your projects, love, favourite, and comment on them. You can make friends online and chat with them. And the best thing is that it is all for free, just a few clicks away. But before you join, I’d like to give you a small advice. Many people start using Scratch to express themselves creatively, but after a while, they forget this re...
