  When you get to the third page, there are two links that I find unnecessary. Ultimately, one can become slightly confused as they end up in similar places. The two links seem purposeless. When one arrives at the page of artist names, navigation gets a little more confusing when making decisions about how to get back or proceed. Also, there is a lot of unnecessary negative space on each page. Can you think of other ways this could have been improved?

A. Pintura was actually one of my favorites back in 2002. This site creates a simple way to get students involved in solving a mystery while drawing conclusions and learning about art styles. Students can make inferences using the information provided even with little prior knowledge. When I used it with elementary children, I was able to hold their attention as I talked them through steps in the computer lab. Unfortunately, this activity has not been updated since then and still needs improvement. It has unnecessary links making navigation slightly confusing. The site lacks variety as there is only one mystery to solve and it could have addressed other art vocabulary.

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!

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

Even though teaching root words seems to have fallen out of favor, I think they are a great took. They come in especially handy for standardized tests such as the GRE.

I like this site because you can easily create crosswords, word scrambles, and word matches.
