    This website has lots of drill and practice work. The exercises are colorful and animated. This keeps the attention of students. There is a lot of variety in types of tasks, including science, math, and language. The difficulty of each exercise grows with the number of correct answers. Immediate feedback is provided on everything.

    Fun brain has some great games for students to learn different things, but some of the games are not very educational.

    I can honestly say that I enjoy this site. Out of 10, this site will be raked at six. K-8 students are the intended audience for this site. They do have many interactive games, but the attention of the students sometimes worry about "playing" and do not focus on learning.

    This is also one of my least favorite websites because once again it has a lot of games that students like to play but not a lot of learning is done

    I like this website because it is not only for kids but also for teachers. It has math and reading games, as well as other types of games and information. I think this would be a good site for young students to use in centers in a class or for extension activities.

      These educational games explore important topics in history and provide interactive and fun ways for students to learn about history and other content.

    This website provides games and activities where students can learn more about Science & Nature, History & Culture, People, Places, etc.  Students can also take quizzes where they answer questions and then are given feedback on what they answer.  It is organized very well where descriptions of each game or activity is provided.

    The intended audience for this site are students in Pre-K through 8. This site would be a good site if its' games were made using standards from different school districts. Also, some of the games are difficult to understand and poses as a threat to young learners. This site functions as an advertisement site, which can grab learners attention while playing the games.

    This site was designed for children ages 7-12. There aren't many games on the site and when children are playing games, they lose focus on the task at hand; learning! Skate Kids functions as a site that teaches learners how to memorize and recognize. I think that this site has potential but I would have to put it in my least favorite five.

    I like this website because it is more than just games. There is a link to math videos that teach students. There is a lot topics covered on this website. The games are also good and progressively move up in skill level. I think this would be good website to help kids practice math.

    This site has great interactivity and good response mechanisms. I could see kids using this to practice their pronunciation and reading skills. The language allows clicking on individual words, where they then sound out loud. Check out the Earth Day section - you can drag recyclables to the bins and hear the words. Great! Lots of color, sound, kids voices, and animation make this site fun

    agree! I use this frequently w/ K & 1, and especially my ESL students because of the amount of vocabulary it includes!
  • Alex Foutz on 16 Jan 11
     
    This website is a great internet tool for emerging readers and struggling readers. Students are able to listen and view tutorials to learn letter sounds, how to use letters in words and how to build sentences. This phonics tool is helpful to students that struggle with traditional instruction but are able to engage with web 2.0 tools to help further their understanding. This website also has additional tutorials and interactive games for holidays, seasons, and more advanced readers.

    Starfall is designed for Pre-K-2nd grade students. The goal of this site is to help kids read better by using phonics.This site is on my least favorite list because this site needs to add more interactive elements to it. Students are given the option to click on the words but I feel that having interactive games keeps the child interested

    Discovery Kids functions as an educational site for kids ages 6-12. The site is very visually attractive and has plenty of games to play and fun facts to learn. Most of the facts relate to questions that the children have always wanted to know.
  • Morgan Wigal on 24 Jan 11
     
    I really like this website. I am Elementary, so this is a good website for younger kids. It has many games on it, and it is easy to navigate. It also has some good information on it for kids.

    I have students that are really not in my class, but they are on my role. These students work with Study Island to help them pass their EOG's. These students are below their grade level potential, so they come to me during my class for extra help The Study Island user-friendly interface allows students to move through the program step-by-step. Each section has a pre-test and a post-test, as well as topics that cover each of the objectives within the Standard Course of Study. Topics consist of questions, answers, explanations, and lessons that address the specific skills required in order to master the Standard Course of Study.
  • Paul Fullmore on 19 Jan 11
     
    This is one of my favorite sites to use. Study Island is built from state standards and features many options for its' users. The intended audience for this site are K-8. It functions as a testing platform for students and an assessment tool for educators. I enjoy that the activities are designed based on state standards and that educators have the option to choose what questions and/or games will be included in the students activity.

    This site is great for students, teachers and parents. It encompasses all the essential learning tools that will be required by elementary school students. Iknowthat caters to Pre-K through 6th grade students. The games are interactive and the content avialable supports all subjects.

    I think this website does provide a lot of information about various topics, however, it does not provide any interactive activities or games.  It all involves reading information from different webpages.  Students often get bored from reading information online and it is important that there are interactive components in educational websites.

      While this is a great site for educational math games. It is one of my least favorite sites because of its lack of focus on website design. The pages are too busy, there are too many adds, and it is easy to get lost.

    This site seemed promising at first, but it is not only too busy, you have to pay after a trial. There are plenty of other sites to use for free.
